Reception
Kannada version

The Times of India wrote "Ramesh has done justice to the story with a good script, though the climax is overly sentimental. The movie is not a patch on his earlier film Cyanide and one finds that touch missing in the narration".[6] Deccan Herald wrote that "It is the understated, almost natural play by the actors that makes ‘Police Quarters’ all the more attractive".[7] Sify wrote that "The relationships between the characters making the commercial film very much like a documentary. The film is still good enough for a one-time watch".[8]

Tamil version

The New Indian Express wrote "Just a passable fare, ‘Kadhalar Kudiyiruppu’ doesn't live up to the expectations, and is not a patch on the director's earlier film". The critic added that "Some of the portions seem to be dubbed from Kannada, and the poor lip-sync is another distraction".[2][9][10]
