==Reception==<br />
The film was a commercial failure at the box office. In 1977, Kapoor told to ''[[India Today]]'' that he dislikes the film, he also criticised Pachchi's direction, and that he acted in the film for money, because "like [[Orson Welles]], I had to act in bad films to make good ones myself".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sanghvi |first1=Vir |title=Raj Kapoor: Sex as an art form |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/cover-story/story/19771115-raj-kapoor-sex-as-an-art-form-823468-2014-09-05 |accessdate=5 July 2020 |work=[[India Today]] |date=15 November 1977}}</ref><br />
