Despite calling him "deadpan as usual", the review notes that [[Dev (Bengali actor)|Dev]] has been played to his strengths and has the perfect body language. [[Rukmini Maitra]] was praised for a debut performance, being called a natural in the review. The rest of the cast was commended for their performances, including [[Chiranjeet Chakraborty]], [[Priyanka Sarkar]], [[Kamaleshwar Mukherjee]], and Supriyo Dutta. The review also commended the crew, specifically cinematographer Soumik Halder, art director Tanmoy Chakraborty and editor Md Kalam.

[[Jeet Gannguli]], one of the composers of the soundtrack, expressed disappointment with the inclusion of [[Anupam Roy]] and [[Raftaar (rapper)|Raftaar]] on the soundtrack.<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movies/news/dev-was-kiddish-and-hurt-me-by-using-anupams-song-to-promote-his-film-jeet-gannguli/articleshow/59528815.cms|title=Dev was kiddish and hurt me by using Anupam’s song to promote his film: Jeet Gannguli|work=The Times of India|access-date=2017-07-21}}</ref> He explained that he initially composed four tracks for the soundtrack, and felt that since he had already done that, he should complete the soundtrack by composing the rest of the music. Gannguli further explained that he is not fond of the trend of hiring multiple composers for a single soundtrack album, a trend which has become popular in the [[Bollywood|Hindi film industry]].<ref name=":3" />
