Reception
The film was popular with audience when released in November 1951, becoming the sixteenth highest-grossing film of the year.
On 30 November, Meena Sastri of the journal 'Thought' wrote that the poorly-made film was saved by Madhubala's work: "The incidents connecting the insipid plot are incredibly weak. [...] The main redeeming feature is the heroine's [Madhubala's] appealing beauty and considerable acting talent. This combination helps to carry her through a feeble role." In contrast, Baburao Patel observed that the actress looks ill and her beauty is "destroyed" by pimples. He, however, liked the film.
