Reception

Shams Rashid Tonmoy, writing for The Daily Star, gave season five episode "Tomar Pichu Pichu" a rating of 8/10, praising the performances of Tahsan Rahman Khan and Bidya Sinha Saha Mim, and the story, although "the romantic buildup seemed a bit forced in the end".^[10]

Among the episodes of season six, Shams Rashid Tonmoy singled out "Shohore Notun Gaan" for being "an original story that provided a welcome change of pace" because it "uses love as a positive means of breaking [the] stigma" of the handicapped, rather than following the tired formula of "love despite obstacles".^[11]
