ACP Raja Narendra is appointed to investigate the murders.
Music was composed by R. P. Patnaik. Lyrics were penned by Kulasekhar. Music was released on Aditya Music.
Jeevi of Idlebrain gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Overall, it's an average film that has chances to become hit because of the Teja's mass-attracting episodes and Mahesh Babu's brilliant portrayal of the character". Vijayalakshmi of Rediff wrote "Only a couple of things salvage director Teja's Nijam -- the first is an excellent performance by lead star and teen sensation Mahesh. The second is cinematographer Samir Reddy's camera work. BVS Prakash of Screen wrote "Except for some good performance by Mahesh, director Teja’s much-hyped film Nijam (truth) is nothing but a rehash of Kamal Haasan’s Indian and it also lacks realistic characters with villain (Gopi) who calls himself God but behaves like a psychic. Teja, who rose to fame with love stories Nuvvu Nenu and Jayam, fails to dish out an interesting ‘star-centric’ film".
In an interview, Teja said "We made Nijam in a budget of ₹6.5 crore; We sold audio rights for ₹2 crore and movie initially were sold for a total of ₹26 crore. In total, we made a profit of ₹5-6 crore and Nijam was not a flop". In an interview with The Hindu, Teja told "I worked with Mahesh after he had a flop called Bobby, but Nijam released after Okkadu and people drew comparisons. I don’t argue when people say Nijam was a flop. The film was made with a budget of ₹6.5 crore and sold for ₹21 crore. I repaid money to whoever lost money and still made a huge profit".
The film was also dubbed into Tamil as the same title, and then again in 2012 as Seerum Singam. The film was dubbed as Meri Adalat in Hindi, in Bengali as Aamar Protishodh and in Bhojpuri as Hamaar Faisla. It was remade as Arjun (2005) in Odia starring Anubhab Mohanty and Gargi Mohanty (with Rameswari reprised her role from Nijam) and Bangladesh as Top Leader (2005) starring Shakib Khan.
