Release and reception
The film was released on 18 August 1989[4] 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."[5] India Today stated that Dharmendra had been "roped" into making the film, highlighting his barefoot classical dance.[6]
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".[7]
