===Promotion===

==Critical reception==
Madhushree Ghosh of ''[[The Times of India]]'' reviewed "There are two reasons why you can spend one evening watching Amanush 2 and not regret later — Soham's impressive return after last year's Golpo Holeo Sotti and a gripping storyline that keeps you glued to your seats till the end. Thankfully, like most commercial Bengali films, Amanush 2 steers clear of the typical song and dance routine, an arm-candy heroine or a ruthless villain with a country's supply of weapons at his disposal. And if these don't excite you enough, the film has a brilliant Anindya Chatterjee (as Raghu's friend Ashok), who leaves a lasting impression once again after Chotushkone. However, this film too has its share of flaws. It is predictable to a great extent, which takes away the charm of a thriller. Paayel Sarkar, as Ashok's girlfriend Riya, looks worn out. Even her heavy make-up, trendy clothes couldn't camouflage her disinterested performance. Otherwise, it is a good one-time watch."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movie-reviews/Amanush-2/movie-review/46970190.cms|title=Amanush 2 Movie Review|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|accessdate=18 Apr 2015}}</ref>
