Reception
Critical response Masum Apu of Prothom Alo praised Headline for its realistic depiction of investigative journalism, press freedom, and corporate-political power dynamics, noting its departure from conventional thriller tropes. The lead performances by Ziaul Faruq Apurba and Yash Rohan were highlighted as the core of the series.
Utsa Ganguly of The Times of India awarded the series 2.5 out of 5 stars. The review commended the authentic 2006 Dhaka setting, central performances, and its depiction of corporate influence on press freedom, but criticized its predictable newsroom-thriller plot, slow pacing, and unresolved finale.
