Reception

Critical reception

Souvik Saha of Cine Kolkata rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Biye Bibhrat shines brightly with its stellar performances, visionary direction, and unforgettable moments. However, the film falls short in terms of consistent comedic timing and fully exploring character complexities. Despite its flaws, it remains a remarkable cinematic journey, leaving the audience with a desire for more of its magic." Agnivo Niyogi from The Telegraph wrote " Biye Bibhrat delivers exactly what was promised in the trailer, a delightful romantic comedy. But despite its enjoyable elements, it is overly predictable; its characters and their problems are nothing new. This gap is somewhat filled by the film's soulful soundtrack." Devarti Ghosh of
