At the Soviet box office, it was the 13th biggest hit of the 1970s, the fourth most successful Indian import of all time (after 'Awaara', 'Bobby' and 'Disco Dancer'), the ninth biggest foreign hit of all time, and one of the top 30 biggest hits of all time. It was among the highest-grossing films in the Soviet Union.[https://www.rbth.com/amp/495699 With love from India to Russia], 'Russia Beyond the Headlines', 22 October 2009
