Reception
After the success of his previous movie Rangeela, Daud was much anticipated but failed to be a box office success. Filled with tongue-in-cheek innuendos and some very sensual song picturizations, Daud failed to register with audiences. Though the movie did not prove to be a commercial success, it went on to become a cult hit. The dialogues and pot potpourri of subtle jokes and dead-pan humour was very well appreciated. Daud had some very good actors and A. R. Rahman at the helm in the music department. Manoj Bajpai played a small part in this film (he would later on work with RGV in Satya which made him a bonafide star). It was dubbed into Tamil and Telugu.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
