→Trivia
- The film was inspired by the real-life affair between actor Sanjeev Kumar and actress Sulakshana Pandit, which was widely discussed in gossip columns.
- Director Vinod Pande originally planned to cast Sanjeev Kumar and Sulakshana Pandit themselves, but they declined to play the roles.
- This was one of the few films where actor Marc Zuber played a lead role instead of his usual supporting parts as a foreign villain.
- The movie's title song 'Yeh Nazdeekiyan' became popular and was sung by playback legend Kishore Kumar.
- Despite its steamy theme for the time, the film faced censorship challenges but avoided major cuts by focusing on emotional drama.
- The film was shot quickly on a modest budget, primarily in Mumbai's film studios and some urban outdoor locations.
- It was released during a wave of bold, relationship-focused films in the early 1980s but did not become a major box office success.
