Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote "Police Line would have worked far better if it had been conceived more as film and less as a petition for the betterment of the police force". [4] Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times wrote "Overall, the intention of presenting the life of the police has been achieved in this movie. But if these shortcomings were removed, this movie would have been more successful". [5] A Reviewer of Lokmat wrote "This is a positive film about the police; But if its setting was more powerful, this film would have been more memorable". [6]
