Trivia
- The film's director Raj Khosla was known for thrillers, so this romantic plot was a slight shift from his usual style.
- Actress Moushumi Chatterjee, who played Geeta, was a popular leading lady but often played tragic or complex roles.
- The villain's disguise as a holy man 'Mahayogi' reflected real-life fears about fake spiritual leaders in the 1970s.
- The movie featured music by R.D. Burman, but none of the songs became major chartbusters like his other works.
- It was one of the few films where actor Shashi Kapoor and actress Moushumi Chatterji shared significant screen time.
- The plot device of a gas chamber used by the villain was considered quite dark for a mainstream romantic film of that era.
