Production

Pooja deals with the "shattering consequences of feudal sexual codes".

Kardar was interested in themes involving "sexual abnormality". He had earlier used the idea in his film Pagal, which dealt with a "psychotic doctor" given to sexual obsession.

Sitara's role of the unwed mother in the film was appreciated.
