The film had Charlie playing a "social parasite" and the acting was severely criticised by the critic of "[[Filmindia]]" as "putrid" and "obscene". The film however was a big success at the box-office. This was also Charlie's last film for Ranjit Studios as he became a "freelancer" soon after.<ref name="Narwekar2005">{{cite book|author=Sanjit Narwekar|title=Eena Meena Deeka: The Story of Hindi Film Comedy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ya2CRt7wPXUC&pg=PA1913|accessdate=21 January 2015|date=1 January 2005|publisher=Rupa & Company|isbn=978-81-291-0859-3|page=26}}</ref>
