The film was ready for release by November 1997, but was delayed as a result of overcrowding at the box office.[6] The film opened in December 1998 to negative reviews with a critic from Indolink.com stating that the film spoils the freedom fighter Bhagat Singh's name, while noting that the lead actor "has the physique for a police officer but he is often let down by his voice modulation".[7]
