Reception
Bhaskar Chattopadhyay of Firstpost called the premise "interesting" but criticised the writing by calling it lazy and confused." He further wrote, "bir Chatterjee is the only silver lining in this catastrophic film. I suggest you spend your time revisiting the books instead of watching Biday Byomkesh."[4] Shantanu Ray Chaudhuri of Film Companion wrote, "The problem primarily lies in the writing, which is at times downright sloppy – unpardonable for a murder mystery. There are convenient creative licences taken to overcome plot hurdles."[5]
