Reception

[edit]

Guptodhoner Sandhane was a box office blockbuster.[13] Arghya Bandyopadhyay of Anandabazar Patrika gave it a rating of 6 out of 10.[17] Firstpost rated it 3 out of 5 saying "The best thing about the film is its simplicity. The makers do not have any illusions of grandeur, they know exactly the kind of film they are making, they know their audiences in and out and they customise their offering accordingly.[6] The film did very good business at the box-office, despite Haami was a super-hit at the box-office.
