== Reception ==<br />
A critic from ''[[The Indian Express]]'' wrote that "WITH a name like this, one would assume that the director would have some basic knowledge about the Karnataka police, which has sacrificed a number of daredevil cops in combing operations. He does not".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cscsarchive.org/MediaArchive/art.nsf/(docid)/654ECD6599A5375B65256941001E4BA3?OpenDocument|title=Review / Cinema|first=Y. Maheshwara|last=Reddy|work=[[The Indian Express]]|date=20 December 1998}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Deccan Herald]]'' wrote that "What should have been a tribute to the Karnataka Police force turns out to be neither a tribute nor does it create any impact on the audience. Film-makers do not seem to be tired of trying out the same old formula".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cscsarchive.org/MediaArchive/art.nsf/(docid)/B1B03240AE8F5FF6652569400062A3E6?OpenDocument|title=Reviews|date=20 December 1998|work=[[Deccan Herald]]|first=Srikanth|last=Srinivasa}}</ref><br />
