The film took six years to complete. By the time it released, Neetu Singh had already retired from acting after marrying Rishi Kapoor and Feroz Khan had stopped acting in outside productions. Upon release it received mixed reviews, with many critics making lukewarm comparisons of the film's premise with Dharmatma (1975), KhoteSikkay (1974) and KaalaSona (1975), the earlier films of Khan and Denzongpa based on the same theme. At the box office, it was moderately successful and the 14th highest grossing film of 1980.
