Reception
Komal Nahta for "Film Information" wrote "Shadow Assassins is for a thin section of the audience in Assam only, because the story is about happenings in that state. For the rest of the world, there’s precious little in the film. Flop."[8] Pravasi Express wrote "Singaporean actor, KP Sandhu stars in a pivotal role as Neeraj Deka, a ruthless anti-ULFA radical who goes to extreme lengths to hinder the movement. The film’s moving soundtrack by Javed Ali and Ashu Chakraborty has also received international acclaim."[9] Ambar Chatterjee for EastMojo wrote "I watched Shadow Assassins in a practically empty theatre. This brings me to the point that I have raised numerous times before. We have to support our regional cinema and our own stories. If a film like this fails at the box office, it will deter many others from making films on similar subjects or on Assam as a whole."[10]
Anurag Sinha wins Best Actor Award for his portrayal of ‘Nirbhay Kalita’ at New Jersey Indian & International Film Festival and Alternative Film Festival, Toronto in 2023.[11][12]
