Reception
A review in The Times of India wrote: "Overall, Tarader Shesh Tarpon is a very engaging watch despite being biographical as it doesn’t try too hard to put them on a pedestal. Instead, it focuses on the basic fact that they were just human, with lives full of ups, downs, bitterness and happiness and of course, success."[5]
