It is written in an article by ThePrint, which states "the beauty of Aar Paar's dialogue is that every character speaks in a language that reflects where they're from, their upbringing and education. Instead of one-size-fits-all Hindi, there's a bit of Punjabi, a bit of Parsi, inflections of Urdu, a smattering of street Bambaiyya, some heartland Hindi mixed with clumsy English. That attention to detail not only made the dialogue more authentic to the character, but also to the city of Bombay, long known for its cosmopolitan population."[2][3][4]
The film had very popular music.[4] The album of the film was ranked #34 in the list of "Best Bollywood Albums of all time" by Film Companion.[5] It was also named the "Best Album of Golden Era" for the year 1954 in the 7th Mirchi Music Awards, 2014.
