Reception

Shah Nahian of The Business Standard criticised its first episode but praised the storytelling ability and music of the web series.[4] Fatin Hamama from The Daily Star said, "All things considered, Pett Kata Shaw definitely did reinvent Bangladeshi horror, a genre that's been woefully under-explored until now".[5]
