Critical reception Yeti Obhijaan received positive review from critics who praised its cast performances, cinematography, action sequences, and musical score but criticized its writing development. On the
review aggregator website
Rotten Tomatoes, 86% of 38 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.5/10. The website's consensus reads: "Packed with plot twists and breathtaking action,
Yeti Obhijaan manages its convoluted plot and imposing length with high-octane panache." Shamayita Chakraborty of
The Times of India rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and commented, "On the whole, Yeti Obhijaan is disappointing.
Pahar Churay Aatonko is one of the best Kakababu adventures and it is sad to see our childhood nostalgia snuffed out on screen. It is too early to say that Srijit Mukherjee has lost his mojo, but his storytelling is a shadow of what it used to be a few years back." She also added that the film lost its glory, also failing to thrill. Bhaskar Chattopadhyay of
Firstpost reviewed the film and wrote "The photography of the snow-covered peaks and the clear blue skies are breathtakingly beautiful, the drone shots executed with great affection and the cinematography extremely commendable. The weakest element of the film is its writing, while Prosenjit Chatterjee pulls off all these delivering the strongest punch. He does his best to carry the film on his shoulders, the performances by most of the other actors make sure his genuine efforts go nowhere." Bidisha Chatterjee of
Sangbad Pratidin quoted "There are mountains, snow on its peaks, but the fear is missing and if you want to feel it, you should read the original story." Arup Ratan Samajdar of
Kaahon Archive mentioned the film as "an
Himalayan emptiness" in his review and wrote "A synthetic texture of multiple layers of sound effects has become the dominant practice in mainstream films all over the world. The film lacks the thrill that is largely born out of the overwhelming silence one’d experience sitting idle for 15 days at an altitude of almost 20,000 feet at the Himalayas." Bhaswati Ghosh of
Ei Samay gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Prosenjit Chatterjee's weathered intensity, grizzly charisma and trademark wit lends the film's all-out, devil-may-care antics a sense of purpose that evades mindless acts of mayhem". The film was rated 3.5/5 stars and termed as a "massy, meaningful actioner" by Agnivo Niyogi of
Aaganz World. He wrote "
Yeti Obhijaan steers clear of these shortcomings and in a signature-Srijit style presents an exhilarating thriller that would be palatable for anyone from 8 to 80. Prosenjit Chatterjee gets in to the skin of the character and makes it his own. His silent stares, signature limp, and quintessential
Bangaliana will keep you on the edge of your seats." Shoma A. Chatterji of
Filmfare rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and called it a "visual spectacle" while also opining that the action choreography was "truly out of this world". ==Sequel==
