It released on July 28, last year. The film received much love from the audience, becoming a major hit. The movie also starred veteran actor Shabana Azmi alongside Tota Roy Chowdhury, Churni Ganguly, Aamir Bashir, and Kshitee Jog.
Dharmendra and Jaya's on-screen collaborations also include Chupke Chupke (1975), Samadhi (1972), and Piya ke Ghar (1972).
