It stars Shashi Kapoor, Sharmila Tagore and Shatrughan Sinha. The film became a box office hit and was the 10th highest grossing Hindi film of 1973. Poornima received a Filmfare nomination as Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Tera Mujhse Hai." Her nomination is the only Filmfare nomination for the film.
