Reception

edit

In 1971, a dispute occurred at one cinema in Dadar, when a Marathi movie was replaced with Tere Mere Sapne.[6]

Unlike Anand's previous "Golden" hits, Tere Mere Sapne did not do as well at the box office.[7]

Among retrospective reviews, Farhana Farook writing for Filmfare called it one of Mumtaz's best performances.[8] Hindustan Times included it in it in their list of Anand's top 10 films.[9] Kamal Haasan who included it in his list of 70 favourite movies since 1947 stated "The film stayed with me. This was romance in the early Seventies, but the kind of characters you saw in this film were rare at the time -- like the alcoholic doctor. At that time, one was aching for films that would come close to Erich Segal’s Love Story. And Tere Mere Sapne was different, despite being a typical Hindi film. I was not interested in Aradhana (1969). Later there were other different films like Rajnigandha (1974) but they didn’t change my perception. For me, Tere Mere Sapne became a primer to see better cinema. We graduated to better cinema because of such films. Otherwise, films by directors like Satyajit Ray would have remained boxes to tick off on a to-do list."[10]
