Release and reception

The film released on 8 March 2019 on International Women's Day.[4] Millennium Post, in their review, wrote: "The beauty of the film lies not in dwelling on these scars, but in showing a way how even such stubborn scars can be wiped off with a pinch of understanding and love. It's about repairing human relationships slowly."[2]

Released on International Woman's day, the central theme of the movie is Feminism. It refers to various cultural phrases and ideas, typically identified as patriarchal. The film also touches upon how these cultural saying and habits are passed through generations of women, without careful examination or prejudice. It is considered one of the landmark movies of the Bengali film industry as its the first ever Bengali film to celebrate the day by coming up with a story by the women, having female leads.[2]
