Jaane Do Na was recreated by composer Arko Pravo Mukherjee for the 2015 film Kuch Kuch Locha Hai. The song Sach Mere Yaar Hai was reused in the 2021 TV Series The Family Man Season 2, as a tribute to the singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and to the fictional NIA agent character Millind in the series. Release Saagar was released on 9 August 1985. Despite receiving critical acclaim, the movie was major box office failure. It gained recognition over the years through re-runs on television channels and is now regarded as a classic and a cult film. In 2015, Saagar was screened at the Habitat Film Festival. Critical reception According to Asiaweek, "Saagar offers a skimpy eternal-triangle plot, but it is remarkable for its polished narration and masterly technique. The romance is subdued, symbolised by waves gently caressing the shore." It further praised the performances, calling Kapadia "a delight" and claiming that Hassan "steals the show with his subtle performance," and the direction by Sippy, who "has succeeded in injecting vitality, beauty and deep insight into a gossamer-thin story." India Today wrote, "Like Sholay, and only like Sholay, Saagar is purely a director's film." Awards The film was chosen by India as its entry for the Best Foreign Language Film for the 58th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.
