Review

The comedy came from gags which according to the review, "intellectuals would like to forget as stupid", turned out to be the major source of entertainment in the film. Motilal was cited to be good "Motilal scores with ease", and "is the main item of acting in the whole picture". The actress Nur Jehan (not to be confused with singer-actress Noor Jehan) was praised for her singing and acting abilities as the maid "gives quite a thrilling bit of work as the maid".[3]
