It serves as a prequel crossover to Mukherji's previous films, Baishe Srabon and Vinci Da and the fourth film in Bengali cinema's first Cop Universe. The film released in the occasion of Durga Puja on 19 October 2023.
It was a box office success with Prabir - Poddar duo and the songs gained praise. Criticism were directed towards the length, pace, climax, thrill and the romantic subplot of the movie.
A tribute to the writer Agatha Christie, this movie is claimed by the makers to be the start of the Probir Roy Chowdhury franchise. A direct sequel to Dawshom Awbotaar featuring Prosenjit Chatterjee and Anirban Bhattacharya reprising their roles is announced.
