The movie was not a box office hit but this song had left a deep impact on the minds of the listeners. Uttam Kumar died at the age of 54, while Rafi died when he was just 55.

The birth centenary of Rafi was observed at Taj Mahal pan shop beside Amenia restaurant opposite the HQ Kolkata Municipal Corporation. Md Shahabbuddin, the present owner of the 75-year-old pan shop has witnessed Rafi and Lata (Mangeshkar) buying pan from the shop. Rafi's photos have been put up on the walls and had been garlanded for the centenary.
