The film has been declared tax free in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, which may have contributed to the film’s performance at the ticketing counters. Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, announced that the  film would be made tax-free  in the city, stating that the film’s “message should reach to people of every age, gender & background―The power of a dream, & the power derived from it to achieve it, despite any socio-cultural blocks.” Helmed by Tushar Hiranandani,  Saand Ki Aankh  depicts the heroic story of the world’s oldest sharpshooters — Chandro and Prakashi Tomar. Apart from Taapsee and Bhumi, Saand Ki Aankh also features  director Prakash Jha  and  Mukkabaaz actor Viineet Singh  in pivotal roles. The film was  criticised by senior actresses  for casting two young actresses in the roles of 60-year-olds. Set in the hinterlands of Uttar Pradesh, the film went on floors in Meerut in February. Originally titled Womaniya, the film was renamed Saand Ki Aankh, following a  title rights dispute .
