Raja Hindustani was considered to be one of the bold movies at that time because of the longest steamy lip-lock scene. In an interview with Times of India, director Dharmesh Darshan shared that Dilip Kumar once equated his Mughal-E-Azam feather caressing scene with Madhubala to this scene.

The director further mentioned, "There were no catcalls, in fact, there was pin drop silence at the time of the kissing scene in the theatre when the film released; I myself was witness to the quietness when I had gone to see it. I was wondering if that meant there was no response. But something happened after 5 minutes, when the 'Pardesi jaana nahin' song came. People started clapping throughout the song."
