Kum Kang Kum Kabi Chang is based on Dr. M. Priyobrata's famous radio drama of the same title. It won the Akashvani National Award. It is Prithi Theatre's first production. In spite of its good content, the film could not attract large number of audiences in theatres since it was screened just after the stoppage of screening films in theatres and other film-related activities, which was relaxed in March 2016.
