Reception Critical reception Poorna Banerjee of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Oporichito is an average watch, offering a few moments of intrigue but falling short of leaving a lasting impression." She praised the performance of the lead cast and the cinematography but criticized the slow screenplay, non-impactful dialogues, tonal inconsistencies, accent inconsistencies and the hushed climax.
Debatri Ghosh of Anandabazar Patrika rated the film 6.5/10 stars and noted "The film, which is a little over two hours long, has a strong story line, but it remains a bit dull due to the lack of enough mystery." She appreciated the performance of the cast but bemoaned the slow pace in the first half, the weak screenplay, the unnecessary grey canvas used throughout the film, the predictable twist and multiple loopholes in the plot.
Shampali Moulik reviewed the film and opined "Overall, although the style of this thriller is familiar, the oscillation between trust and disbelief is extremely intriguing." She applauded the seasoned performance of the actors but bemoaned the weak screenplay, slow pacing in the first half and the weak writing with respect to developing the mystery.
