Reception

Kine Weekly wrote: "During the few halts in its extravagant perambulation it shows that crime does pay. Its confused morality robs it of conviction. But novelettish as it is, it has mass appeal Its versatile by-play, attractive cast and ambitious technical presentation effectively cloak its lurid fundamentals. Reliable quota booking for the masses."^[5]
