The Telegraph Agnivo Niyogi
Agnivo Niyogi of The Telegraph reviewed the film and wrote "Shiboprosad and Nandita squander away the opportunity of a taut, and engaging crime thriller, and settle for a lite version of the myriad anti-terror web series we are by now accustomed to bingeing on OTT." He praised Abir's performance but bemoaned the fatigue on his face in some scenes, termed Mimi as "Lady Singham" but bemoaned her being reduced to a heroine craving for her man and applauded Ankush's strong performance.
