The song was picturised in a film sequence showing a wedding celebration with the film's cast.[4] Even after two decades of its release, it remains one of the most popular songs played on Indian wedding rituals in North India. The soundtrack album of the film is one of the best selling Bollywood albums.
A 2018 documentary film about the film by Natashja Rathore explores the legacy of its songs and characters.[5]
