Released in 1974, the movie had the hit jodi of Dharam-Hema which had already appeared in nearly 11 hit films. Amitabh Bachchan appeared in a minuscule role and almost goes unaccredited despite being a roaring name in the industry by then after giving hits like Zanjeer, Majboor, Kasauti and Hera Pheri. Yet when Doordarshan first telecast the movie in the 80's people anxiously waited holding their breath for that one small scene of Amitabh Bachchan.
