Film critique
'He fulfilled tasks that the rest of the police never...'
While Naureen appreciated Dutt's performance, she felt that the film didn't do justice to her husband's character. "If they were making a film, they could have at least called me, the police, or journalists to understand both his positive and negative sides. He fulfilled tasks that the rest of the police never could." She also joked about the character's use of foul language, noting that it is common in police circles and fits the role well.
