Reception

Madhubala's biographer Mohan Deep called Imtihaan "a shabby film".[4]

The film was successful commercially and was among the films that helped Madhubala establish herself as a leading lady. Her close friend and retired IAS officer Latif told, "After Mahal (her breakthrough film), Madhubala did eight films in 1949; all hits in some measure or the other. However Dulari, Singaar and Imtihaan stand out."[5]
