The film was a success at the box-office. In 1958 the film even was a recipient of three Filmfare awards Best Actor – Dilip Kumar, Best Music Director – O P Nayyar and Best Story – Akhtar Mirza.
Ravi Chopra planned to release the film earlier in June and time it with its original release date, but due to technological reasons, the film had to be delayed.
