Trivia

Album

• The theme music used in the opening credits of this film was originally composed by Salil Chowdhury for the opening credits of another Hrishikesh Mukherjee film - "Anand" (1970).[1]
• Shatrughan Sinha was one of the many film personalities who were hounded by Indira Gandhi's government for their criticism of the Emergency. The Congress government's Information & Broadcasting Minister V.C. Shukla had even threatened to implicate Sinha in the Baroda dynamite case if he did not campaign for the Congress party in Bihar. The administration also targetted him through this film. The Censor Board held up the film and forced significant changes to it, resulting in the film being delayed. The film was eventually released only after the Emergency was over.[2][MR35]
