[1][2] Neel Kamal received highly positive reviews from critics upon release and proved to be a major commercial success at the box-office, becoming the third highest-grossing film of 1968.

Chitrasen's love for Neel Kamal remained immortal and his soul survives for centuries in hopes to meet her and be with her.

Her mother-in-law, a very cross person, believes that Sita is having an affair and gives her a tough time at home along with her sister-in-law Chanchal.

Her only supporter in the house is Giridhar, Chanchal's husband, who is a ghar jamai and saves her from committing suicide with the help of a Pujari (David).

The soundtrack of Neel Kamal were composed by Ravi Shankar Sharma and lyrics were provided by Sahir Ludhianvi.
