Production
editThe 75-minute film's screenplay was created by Bhattacharya, who also directed it amid the intense political unrest that would engulf Tripura's hinterlands in the late 1980s. In the 1980s, shooting in celluloid with sync sound and color was a significant advance for aspiring filmmakers in Tripura. Only two prints of Longtharai were reportedly made, one of which is in the possession of the Government of Tripura, reportedly as a result of inadequate financial support and an exceedingly laborious post-production procedure during the celluloid era.[1][3]
