Sangbad Pratidin’s – Sandipta Bhanja praised this film and wrote “Rukmini is the spine of the film, finely carved out by Ram Kamal Mukherjee”.

The Times of India’s – Poorna Banerjee gave “Binodiini: Ekti Natir Upakhyan” three (3) out of five stars (5) and stated “The director has a rather dramatic vision of late 19th century Bengal. The story leaves out a lot of Binodini’s early struggles as an actress and focuses on the phase where she is already well-established. Rukmini Maitra is brilliant in parts as Binodini”. She also praised Halder’s cinematography as well as the well orchestrated music and gave a mixed opinion on the portrayal of the remaining cast.
