==Reception==
Malini Mannath of ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' said : "But the screenplay is weak, some of the key characters and situations, are not handled convincingly. Individual shots seem to be well-planned and sickly executed, and there are some good moments in the film".<ref>{{cite journal|author=Malini Mannath|title=Super sleuth meets the trigger-happy|newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|date=1994-09-23|accessdate=2014-07-19|page=6|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=nmFlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GJQNAAAAIBAJ&hl=fr&pg=1922%2C2566867}}</ref>
