[The Gulf Today](/source/The_Gulf_Today) described it as "a rare international art house film from Bengal which, as a piece of social document, tries to capture the changing face of morality, the degeneration of values, the increasing pollution of the spoken language and the changing social fabric of Bengal through three stories."[2]

## Release

"This fest ([DC Independent Film Festival](/source/DC_Independent_Film_Festival)) doesn't believe in showing hundred or more films like mainstream festivals. In the narrative feature category, they've chosen just eight films from across the world. *Teenkahon* is the only one from Asia in the competition section and it's a rare honour for a Bengali film."[3]

*Teenkahon* was the only Asian film which was showcased in the prestigious [DC Independent Film Festival](/source/DC_Independent_Film_Festival) in 2015.
