Actor Akash said, “I would like to thank Akshay Parija for producing such a wonderful movie with an amazing message for the society.”
However, Papu Pom Pom was of the opinion that the movie scored well with the Bengali audience as they are quite theatre centric. Such stories are still in the experimental stage in the state.
In Odisha making such movies is still an experiment. Actor Manoj Patnaik profoundly thanked Parija and said,’ this movie is a winner all the way as it connects to everyone’s emotion at some point. It’s regretful that in Odisha no one has tried to make such a movie, but soon our directors will adapt experimenting with new stories and movie making. After a long time I am watching an extraordinary, soulful movie and I am sure audience of both the state will get entertained thoroughly.’
