Reception
The film wasn't a box office hit. Leading lady Asha Parekh said audiences didn't want to see Shammi Kapoor play a madman. Nevertheless, the film remains one of her personal favorites, calling it a "beautiful film." Her co-star Helen also holds a special place in her heart for the film, since she called it a "very nice film." Director Shakti Samanta liked Asha Parekh's performance so much that he soon cast her again in Kati Patang (1970), which became a hit, and which won Asha Filmfare Best Actress Award.

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)
