Reception

Critical response

Shreyas Nag from Deccan Herald wrote "Sudeep does a cameo in the movie donning the police attire. His character ‘Suriya’ emphasises the competence of the Karnataka police force. Various directorial techniques have been put to test with each director filming bits and parts of the two hour movie.The hurry to complete the movie is evident in the second half resulting in mismatch of scenes". [4] A critic from News18 India wrote "Cinematography is disappointing as a lot of shots seem to be out of focus. Sudeep's sequences though are well shot. 'Police Story-3' is much weaker than its two prequels. Nevertheless, its filming and release within only a few days might fetch it a name in record books". [5] A critic from DNA wrote "Thriller Manju seems rather lackadaisical as the tough cop. It is only Sudeep in his special appearance who ends up as the saving grace of the film. Alas, even that seems to last just for a few minutes. Skip this one, for it seems like a jigsaw puzzle that leads you nowhere". [6]
