Principal Lt Colonel Dipankar Choudhary on stage said that the film made him recall his days when he had served in high altitude regions and had faced extremely hostile conditions on the borders of the country. He said that he understood how difficult it must have been to shoot the film, especially as it was a single shot film shot on location in Kargil.
