While the "Do Dooni Chaar" concept has its benefits, it also has some drawbacks. One of the primary concerns is that it may lead to a skewed sex ratio, as families may prefer to have two sons and two daughters, leading to a preference for male children. This can exacerbate the existing problem of female foeticide and infanticide in India. Furthermore, the "Do Dooni Chaar" concept may not be suitable for all families, particularly those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, who may rely on children for support and care in old age.

In 2011, a new adaptation of the film was released, directed by A. Muthu and starring Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra. While the remake received mixed reviews, it introduced the story to a new generation of audiences.
