Its budget was ₹0.18 crore and it earned just ₹0.1 crore on opening day and was declared a "disaster" by Box Office India. Despite the film appealing to a niche audience due to its progressive theme; the late Divya Bharti as the central protagonist was impressive and it is considered one of her best performances. It was one of Shahrukh Khan's early romantic roles and his chemistry with Divya Bharti (whom he also co-starred with in his debut film Deewana (1992)), was also appreciated. The performances of senior actresses Dimple Kapadia, Amrita Singh and Sonu Walia in supporting roles were also appreciated. This film marked Hema Malini's directorial debut.
