Reception

Critical reception

Sandipta Bhanja of Sangbad Pratidin reviewed the film and applauded the director for his portrayal of Koel as Mitin Masi, the suspense factor maintained throughout the film, Koel's screen presence, Saheb and Koneenica's performances and the songs. ^[19] Souvik Saha of Cine Kolkata rated the film 2.5/5 stars and opined "The film may appeal to fans of the franchise and viewers who enjoy Koel Mallick in a strong central role. However, audiences looking for a sharp, unpredictable, and gripping thriller are likely to be disappointed." He praised Koel's performance and screen presence, the supporting cast, background score, production design and the cinematography but criticized the predictability of the story, superficial investigations, unnecessary action sequences, weak climax and the repetitive runtime. ^[20]

Eshna Bhattacharya of The Times of India rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Equal parts classic whodunit and tense thriller, the film delves into trust, betrayal, relationship turmoil, and female resilience in a shadowy urban world." She praised the script, Sil's directorial aptitude, the investigative spirit, anecdotes about Kolkata and cultural nods but criticized certain illogical plot developments, dragged stretches, melodrama in the emotional scenes and the overstretched out of sync action sequences. She also applauded the performance of all the actors; particularly Koel Mallick and Gourav Chakraborty, the cinematography, noir-tinged colour palette, costume design, music, background score and the editing. ^[21]
