Talking about the same, Ram Alladi said, Honestly speaking this film doesn’t discuss anything about before August 14th 1947 in other words it doesn’t talk about the efforts of great men or women who fought for independent India. I wrote the story only from the point of how independence is being taken into consideration, not how it is served to us. And how is it classified? Is it social or individual freedom?

Yes, there were numerous films based on the nation's independence struggle, but unlike them, the uniqueness of PANNE is the difference between social and individual freedom and women are not cosmetic place holders in my movies.
