Release and reception The film was released on 18 August 1989 and was highly successful at the BoxOffice.
A reviewer in Democratic World stated: "Darshak is repetitive. So are the dialogues by Sadashiv Amrapurkar - one has heard them before." India Today stated that Dharmendra had been "roped" into making the film, highlighting his barefoot classical dance.
When Dharmendra was later asked in an interview if he had any regrets about making the film he said: "No. Why should I regret having churned out hits like Hukumat and Elaan E Jung? I have no regrets having made those films which continue to be landmarks as far as my career is concerned".
