Critical reception
Shamayita. Chakraborty of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 and said that, "The film could’ve been tighter and shorter and is definitely not one of the best creations of Kaushik Ganguly. Having said that Chhaya O Chhobi is definitely a one-time watch for its picturesque portrayal of north Bengal and Ritwick’s brilliant performance."[7] All About Bangla Cinema gave the film a rating of 4 out of 5 saying that, "Kaushik Ganguly’s “Chhaya O Chhobi” is sweet simple story about the changing equations of personal and professional relationships in the backdrop of an outdoor shooting of a film. It is a crossover between reel and real life where both the reel and real story goes on side by side."[8]
