Album

• The harmonica played by Kamal Haasan's character in this film was Bhanu Gupta's. This was a rare instance of an instrumentalist being prominently credited in a Hindi film of that time.
• The silhouette dancer in the opening credits of this film was Mahesh Anand. This dance sequence and R.D. Burman's music for it was reused in Barkhaa Movies' second film, "Karishmaa" (1984). With a guest appearance in it, "Karishmaa" (1984) was Mahesh Anand's official Hindi film debut. The actor would go on to marry and later divorce the film's producer Barkhaa Roy.[1]
• R.D. Burman won his first Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for this film after debuting in Hindi films in1961.
• R.D. Burman's title music for this film was reused in the film "Kanoon Apna Apna" (1989) for which Bappi Lahiri was the music director.[2]

Song

• Jaana O Meri Jaana - Music director Deva adapted the tune of this song for the Tamil film song "Ey Gnanam" ("Indhu", 1994).[3]
• Dekhta Hoon Koi Ladki Hasin - The tune of this song was adapted from the song "Ya Mustafa", which was composed by the Egyptian musician Mohammed Fawzi and popularized by the French version recorded by Bob Azzam in 1960. The same tune was also used by Ravi in the song "Kya Teri Mehfil Hai Sanam" ("China Town", 1962) and by Nadeem - Shravan in "Ya Dilruba Ya Dilruba" ("Aatish", 1994).[4][5][6]
• Dekhta Hoon Koi Ladki Hasin - R.D. Burman had used a variation of the horn section in the second interlude of this song earlier for the "Shakal Introduction Theme" instrumental piece in the film "Shaan" (1980). This horn section may have inspired the tune of the first line of the song "Deewana Dil Deewana" ("Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa", 1994).[7][8]
