This movie, a historical movie, was adjusted as boring by janta, and they kept away. Songs of this movie did marginally better, though they were by no means Binaca geetmala chart busting songs.

Usha Khanna, the sole female music director in Bollywood movies in the last 50 years remained confined to lesser movies for most of her career. But every once in a while, she tended to rise above the mediocrity of the movies she gave music in.
