This became the second best detective serial after Byomkesh Bakshi which was also popular in its time. The serial was really popular because of Vijay Anand's really good acting as Sam D'Silva and the chemistry between Sam and Gopi, and he uses some really new and innovative instruments for his work, like in a episode he reveals that there are actually 7 bullets in his specially designed revolver.
