The film is most remembered for its songs by R.D. Burman, including, "Jaane Jaan Doodta Phir Ruha", "Saamne Yeh Koun Aaya", "Nahi Nahi Abhi Nahi" and "Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani". The film was a musical hit and the ninth highest grossing film at the Indian Box Office.[1]

After being stereotyped in the girl-next-door image after her Bollywood debut film, Guddi (1971),[2] Jaya Bhaduri tried to break out of the mould with a glamorous role in the film.[3]

The movie was remade in Kannada in 1991 as Aralida Hoovugalu.

R. D. Burman composed and produced the music for this movie. The lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi. The song, "Jaane Jaan Dhoondta Phir Raha" made it to #26 on the Binaca Geetmala annual list 1972. The title of the hit film, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) was taken from a hit song from the film[4] while that song was subsequently recreated in the 2019 movie Student of the Year 2, a sequel to Student of the Year, with music composed by Vishal-Shekhar, and sung by Vishal Dadlani and Payal Dev, and Kishore Kumar (only singing the lyric tune of Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani).
