Review
According to Baburao Patel, in his review of the film in the June 1940 issue of Filmindia, the "lack of sufficient and correct publicity" was the reason for the film not being a commercial success at the box-office. He positively commended the director calling Badami a "'Chhota' Barua" (small Barua) as he felt Badami had "emulated" the director from Bengal in the manner the film was directed "A very nicely directed picture". Sabita was also praised for her performance as Gita, "which for its sheer sincerity is outstanding". However, he advised her to refrain from singing her own songs as her "bad singing, always unnecessary, lessens the intrinsic merit of her otherwise excellent performance". E Billimoria, "this old timer gave a good seasoned performance", and Prithviraj Kapoor were also lauded for their acting.
Music
The music was composed by Gyan Dutt with lyrics written by J. S. Kashyap, Pyare Lal Santoshi. The singers were Durgesh Kumari, Amritlal Nagar, Patgaonkar, Sabita Devi and Khatoon.
