The film is remembered as Uttam Kumar's most cruelty villain role played ever. His role as an antagonist just shocked everyone. Before this film he also did negative character like Kuhuk in 1960, Aparichita in 1969,[8] Stree in 1972. But this one remember as one of the greatest villain played ever in Bengali Cinema history.[9]
The film didn't performed well at the box office because audience not want to see their idol Uttam Kumar as cruelty villain. But it's become box office success when it's re released at 1980s.[citation needed]
