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:
“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)
“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)
“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)
