Film was highly successful at the box office and Mithun's role was highly praised by the audience.
Mithun Chakraborty and Padmini Kolhapure were not paired together conventionally in the film. There is no romantic scene between them, no sing picturised between them and there is a lack of romance between the two in the film. Despite being the lead actors there is only one song that is picturised on Mithun. Similarly one song is picturised on Padmini. On the contrary 3 songs are picturised on Mandakini and 2 on Anita Raj
Romantic pair of 80s Rishi Kapoor and Padmini Kolhapure play brother and sister in the film.
Laxmikant-Pyarelal were the music composers, in this film, they were replaced by Annu Malik.
Mandakini wanted to opt out of the film after Rishi Kapoor had a drunken fight with her father. After the release of Ram Tere Ganga Malin, there was a celebration at the R.K. house. It was to celebrate Raj Kapoor returning home from the hospital. This is when several guests heard a heated argument between Rishi and Mandakini's father. Her father was seen grabbing Rishi by the collar saying "How dare you tell your father to drop my daughter from Henna!!". Rishi then retaliated by yelling and clenching his fists. It was Prem Naths son Monty who jumped in and broke up the fight. When Rishi was later confronted he took responsibility for the argument and said it was his mistake. He saw Mandakini's father quickly exiting Raj Kapoor's room. Fearing he was up to no good he quickly grabbed his collar and ask him what he was doing..Rishi stated he apologized and felt bad for what he did. Mandakini was in no mood to forgive and wanted to leave Hawalaat. It was when Rishi profusely apologized that she had a change of heart and stayed in the film.
