==Reception==
===Critical reception===
Poorna Banerjee of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 3.5/5 stars and wrote "''Nari Choritro Bejay Jotil'' is a film that blends fantasy, romance and social commentary, while staying rooted in mainstream entertainment. Beneath its humour and fantasy, the film attempts to comment on how patriarchy often views feminism through a skewed lens, refusing to acknowledge women’s worth beyond the matrimonial bed." She praised the witty and fast-paced screenplay by Sreejib, sharp dialogues, situational humour, Ankush's performance, Debraj and Oindrila in their respective roles, the humorous plot twists, the vibrant cinematography and the music but bemoaned certain "absurd developments" in the plot towards the climax.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Banerjee |first1=Poorna |title=Nari Choritro Bejay Jotil Movie Review: a breezy rom-com with a feminist undertone |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movie-reviews/a-breezy-rom-com-with-a-feminist-undertone/movie-review/126450786.cms |access-date=19 January 2026 |work=[[The Times of India]] |date=10 January 2026}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

Shatakshi Ganguly of ''IWMBuzzz'' rated the film 4/5 stars and opined "The mind-reading becomes an initiator for deeper conversations. With every flabbergasting twist, it holds up a mirror to society—challenging rooted patriarchy and championing the often overlooked and ignored brilliance of women." She applauded Ankush and Oindrila's chemistry, the supporting cast's performance, the well written jokes and the well-paced screenplay.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ganguly |first1=Shatakshi |title=Nari Choritro Bejay Jotil Review: A Fun Entertaining Watch |url=https://www.iwmbuzz.com/movies/editorial-movies/nari-choritro-bejay-jotil-review-a-fun-entertaining-watch/2026/01/10 |access-date=19 January 2026 |work=IWMBuzz |date=10 January 2026}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref>
