As a publicity gimmick, Badami asked for reviews written in Marathi, English, Hindi and Gujarati languages, offering cash prizes of Rs.250, Rs. 150 and Rs. 100 for the best review. The ploy worked sending audiences to the theatre to see the film.[3] Motilal's romantic role in the film was appreciated by the audiences.[4]
