The song is strongly remembered even now, and the duo the Filmfare Best Music Director Award for the year. Although its tune "Ek Hasina Thi" is a Blatant lift from George Benson's 'We as love' (1977).
Although not as a rule, Laxmikant mostly looked after vocals and Pyarelal used to take care of orchestration. Both had vast knowledge of various music generes, musical instruments and orchestra management.
