Reception

Shampali Mullick of Sangbad Pratidin reviewed the film, noting that it effectively draws the viewer in from the opening scene. The review highlights how the political thriller balances its tense narrative with human emotions. While the film is inspired by Dipanwita Roy's novel Antardhaner Nepothye and the real-life disappearance of a university official in 1997, Mullick observes that the screenplay makes necessary changes for cinematic adaptation. The film's exploration of an alleged education scam is noted as a compelling element in the journey to uncover the mystery.

Reviewing for Aaro Ananda, critic noted that while the film focuses on the Left Front era’s education corruption without engaging in political debate, its propaganda elements are evident through repeated imagery. However, the review praised Rituparna Sengupta’s “effortless and flawless” performance as the film’s soul, alongside strong supporting turns from Bratya Basu, Saheb Chatterjee, Arpan Ghoshal, and Kunal Ghosh. The first half was described as taut and engaging, with the mystery deepening in the second. Criticisms included an overlong climax that “loses its thread,” odd-looking wig work in flashbacks, and shortcomings in editing. The film received a rating of 2.5 out of 5.
