==Review and Box Office==
The film was not a success with [[Baburao Patel]] of ''[[Filmindia]]'' in his December 1937 editorial claiming it had "failed rather badly".<ref name=Patel />
However, it had a large audience attendance in the first week and that according to Patel was due to Sabita Devi. The screenplay was considered a poor adaptation of the story. Patel was critical of Motilal and Siddiqui's performances while praising Maya Bannerjee and Sankatha Prasad for their efforts.<ref name="Patel p. 35">Patel, p. 5</ref> Shobhna Samarth had made her entry in films through ''Nigah-e-Nafrat'' (1935), but came into prominence with her roles in films like ''[[Do Diwane]]'' (1936) and ''Kokila''.<ref name=Joshi>{{cite news|last1=Joshi|first1=Lalit Mohan|title=Shobhana Samarth|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2000/feb/21/guardianobituaries1|accessdate=3 October 2014|agency=The Guardian|publisher=Guardian News and Media Limited|date=21 February 2014}}</ref>
