Shakti Samanta stated "Inspector did quite well and established the banner of Pushpa Pictures. I got another chance to work with the Nadiadwalas and chose to remake a Bengali film I'd seen years ago. I think it was made by PC Barua and adapted from a famous novel. Hill Station was a beautiful story but difficult for the artistes, Bina Rai, Pradeep Kumar and Shyama. Fortunately, it worked at the box-office".
