Reception
editDevarti Ghosh from Ei Samay Sangbadpatra wrote "Those who like to watch literary films, they can come and see 'Datta' in colorful frames to find entertainment, it will not hurt".[8] Suparna Majumder from Sangbad Pratidin says "The use of Rabindra songs is more dramatic than the previous films and also beautiful as a prelude. Director Nirmal Chakraborty stumbles a bit in his first steps. Hopefully, he'll be a little more aware next time".[9]
