According to him, the song "Tumi Bondhu Kala Pakhi" from this film takes people to another world and he appreciated the song.[31] According to Tanmoy Pal of Ajker Patrika, the best part of this film is its actors. He felt the film's dialogues were uninteresting and the character named Gulati lacked variety.[32] According to Indradatta Basu of Anandabazar Patrika, Hawa, the film was made with care and highlighted the plight of a woman in a male-dominated society and critiqued patriarchy politically.
