The film was released alongside other high-profile films releasing for the Puja holiday, such as Yeti Obhijaan and Cockpit. In response to this, actor Ankush Hazra said "So many films with good content are being released this Puja. I think people will find it the perfect time to watch Bengali movies as this is the time to go back to their roots and be proud of 'Bangaliana' (Bengaliness)."[5]
It was announced in November that Bangladeshi film company Jaaz Multimedia would release the film in Bangladesh on 17 November 2017, after a deal was made with SVF Entertainment.[6] [7] The deal made between Jaaz Multimedia and SVF Entertainment was made under the South Asia Free Trade Area agreement (SAFTA).[8]
Srijoy Mukherjee of The Times of India wrote in his review that the film had a promising start, but eventually becomes just a generic comedy. Noting the film's direction, vision, usage of product placements and lack of usage of the Puja theme and Nusrat Jahan's character, the film was let down by an average script. However, the review the performances of the two lead actors, especially Ankush Hazra, noting his expressions, comic timing and body language and lauding his ability as a comic actor.
