Critical Reception

Borbaad got mostly mixed to negative reviews. Madhushree Ghosh of The Times Of India rated the movie 2 and a half stars out of 5. She states that Raj was not in a mood of making a good plot unlike his earlier films such as Proloy and Kanamachi and that's why he leans on making a merely dull love story and some amount of South Indian Film oriented violence. She was also highly critical towards the lead characters' performances stating a emotionless, dull, charisma-lacking acting by both Bonny and Rittika but praised the performance of Sudip Mukherjee as a Muslim Mafia Don.[8] Shoma A. Chatterji of The Indian Express commented that "The editing and cinematography of the action scenes are credible and good but what fails the film miserably is the performance of the romantic lead portrayed by Bonny and Ritika. The only good thing about the movie is Sudip Mukherjee as a ruthless Mafia leader. But ultimately the film is a not-so good one of Raj Chakrobarty".[9]
