Review and Box Office[edit | edit source]
The film was not a success with Baburao Patel of Filmindia in his December 1937 editorial claiming it had "failed rather badly".[3] 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.[5] 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.[6]
