    • Trivia
      Mumbai-based Das, an unsung hero of India's freedom struggle knocked for 32 years on 321 doors, climbed 66,000 steps, wrote 1,043 letters, pleaded 2,300 times in the post-Independent India just to prove that he was the same Gour Hari Das, whom Mahatma Gandhi had blessed and who was jailed for being a part of the freedom movement against the British Raj.
    • Goofs
      Around 0:30:30 during a flashback scene of 1982, when Hari Das' family were shifting their home, several modern day vehicles, such as Wagon R, Maruti Swift, Eon, etc. that did not exist back then, are seen to pass by their luggage lorry.
    • Quotes

      Rajiv Singhal: Being married to a feminist is surprisingly difficult. They need rights to. half of the things. And if not, it necessarily leads to a "Female Liberation Movement".

    Slow and steady wins the race
    I m not going to talk about anything about this film except the subject. Because if I start commenting on anything about this film on a technical aspect , it will be an insult .This is a very important film, movies like these should be promoted by every individual who watches it. It was only when the movie ended I realised its based on a true story and is actually a biography. Only the thought that a person had to go through so much only to prove that he is a freedom fighter , breaks my heart. I think every parent should make their children watch this movie.
