The film had received good publicity in a section of the press but due to the problem of getting a distributor it was not released.According to trustees Gopal Kele, Jagannath Wani, and Yashwant Oak the film's premier show was held at Pune in December 2009.The film was even shown to Anna Hazare at Ralegaon in Ahmednagar district and other social organisations recently.Since no distributor came forward for the said film, we have now decided to screen the marathi film to social organisations or small groups in Maharashtra including Mumbai, who are against corruption, Kele said.The story is about a honest bus conductor in state road transport corporation (MSRTC) receiving a big electricity bill of Rs73,000 following which he comes to know about the steep corruption in the electricity company. His struggle to get out of the muddle with the help of RTI forms the crux. The film directed by Sunil Sukhthankar and Sumitra Bhave.
