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)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
