The first notable film of Parveen Babi.
Amitabh Bachchan and Parveen Babi's first film together.
Ravi Tandon was worried about Pran's late entry in the film. So he added the song Michael Daru Peekar Danga. The idea of Pran using his hands as binoculars was taken from Ravi Tandon. Ravi did that when envisioning a scene.
The film's climax was inspired from the movie Cold Sweat (1970). Majboor even went as far as incorporating actual footage from Cold Sweat in Majboor. The part of the movie where Charles Bronson's car goes off the highway, into the gravel and down a hill. Amitabh was shown driving the same red Corvette as Charles Bronson so they could match the scenes with the original scene in Cold Sweat.
Pran and Farida Jalal were nominated for best supporting actor and actress for 1975 Filmfare awards.
