Development

As no films were made in the Chhattisgarhi language till then for a long time, making the film was difficult for writer-director Satish Jain. He had a story ready, but no finance was available. This ultimately resulted in his father Shivdayal Jain to come in as a producer, however, continued budget constraints forced curtailing the movie by cutting back on shooting of 20 scenes and 1 song. [5] Since the director couldn't afford a playback sincer, he got his brother Tinkoo to sing a few songs. [6] The director toured the state of Chhattisgarh extensively in search for suitable actors/actresses for his new film. A technical team came from Mumbai to shoot the movie. Even the action sequences were executed by fight master Andlib Pathan from Mumbai. The film led to the rebirth of Chhollywood. [7]

Filming

The film was mostly shot in and around the city of Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. [5]

Release

Initially, no one was willing to distribute the movie. So the writer-director Satish Jain and his brother decided to distribute the film themselves. Exhibitors were apprehensive of the idea of screening a Chhattisgarhi film. But Satish Jain requested exhibitors to release the film in Raipur, Durg, and Bilaspur on the occasion of Diwali on October 27, 2000. Initially released with just 3 prints, the subsequent demand after the film became a superhit, meant that producers released additional 12 prints. Post release a new song was added. [5] The film is culturally significant as three days after the release of the film, the state of Chhattisgarh was created. The film is credited with reviving the Chhattisgarhi film industry. [6] [2]

Box office

The film ran for more than 100 days across many theatres in the newly formed state of Chhattisgarh grossing over est. ₹2.5 crores in lifetime collections. The film had a slow start in the first 2 days, but word-of-mouth publicity and the euphoria surrounding creation of a new state, turned the fortunes of the film from 3rd day onwards making it a blockbuster. The film even surpassed other Bollywood flicks that were also released alongside it on Diwali like Mohabbatein and Mission Kashmir in Chhattisgarh. [5]

Sequel

After 23 years writer and director Satish Jain decided to make a sequel, Mor Chhainha Bhuinya 2 . Satish Jain returns as writer and director of the new film, which is a remake or spiritual sequel of the original movie and was released on 24 May 2024.
