Reception
Iqbal was well received by critics and audiences alike, and became the highest grossing low-budget film in the year. The success of the film ensured its director Nagesh Kukunoor a little commercial recognition. It also catapulted its writer Vipul K Rawal to instant fame. After the super success of the film, many producers tried to sign both the writer and the director, however Vipul has refused to work with Nagesh ever again for personal reasons. The film was voted amongst the Ten Hindi Films that is ideal for Training and Motivational material.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“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)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
