Eshna Bhattacharya of The Times of India rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote "Hok Kolorob remains a sincere and emotionally driven film that addresses significant social issues. Its strong performances, especially from Saswata Chatterjee, and its commitment to relevant themes ensure it maintains engagement and emotional impact throughout." She applauded John Bhattacharya, Sreya Bhattacharyya and Rohan Bhattacharjee in their respective roles, the screenplay, impactful dialogues, cinematography and well staged crowd scenes but criticized the storytelling for resorting to heightened drama, the overstretched and stylised protest sequences, the increasing melodramatic tone in the second half, the unnecessarily loud background score in certain scenes that reduces the subtlety of performances and the situation, poorly choreographed action sequences and the occasional comedy that does no help but disrupting the emotional continuity.
