Release and Reception

A special screening of the film was held at Human Rights Violation Conference in Geneva on 8 April 2004. [3] The film was released theatrically in India on 7 May 2004. [4]

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, writing ″If SHEEN belongs to anyone, it's Raj Babbar who delivers a knock-out performance. The veteran seems to be in form after a long, long time and has been offered a role where he can sink his teeth into. The helplessness of a father and that of being uprooted is performed in the most convincing manner by the actor. Anoop Soni as the terrorist leaves an equally strong impression. Sheen makes a confident debut. Tarun Arora draws a blank this time around. He gets no scope at all. Kiran Juneja and Samay Pandit are adequate. On the whole, SHEEN will meet with diverse reactions - a few might empathize with the issue, while others may not really want to reopen the wounds. [5] IndiaGlitz wrote ″Budgetary constraints diminish much of the director's heartfelt pain. So do the performances.″ [6]
