The film was a considerable success and was important in the career of Malini as an actress.[3] The film features "Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana", one of the best-known Bollywood yodels by the singer Kishore Kumar that was also featured on the soundtrack of Mira Nair's Mississippi Masala.[4] The song fetched singer Kishore Kumar a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer. When this film released, films of Shammi Kapoor were not doing well at the box office. The 10-minute cameo of Rajesh Khanna is credited for turning Andaz (1971) into a hit film.[5] This film is counted among the 17 consecutive hit films of Rajesh Khanna between 1969 and 1971, by adding the two-hero films Marayada and Andaz to the 15 consecutive solo hits he gave from 1969 to 1971.[6] Further, this film is the first of the successful scriptwriting partnership between Salim-Javed.
