Track listing
Reception
Soundtrack of Jaani Dyakha Hawbe was well received by critics. Reviewers of The Times of India wrote, "Music by Indradeep Dasgupta and Neel Dutt is another highpoint, especially Shreya Ghoshal's "Jaani Dyakha Hawbe" number. Indraadip goes a commendable job of using parts of the "Jo Wada Kiya Woh" in this song. Srijato excels yet again with his lyrics, especially that of "Phire Jaa"." Similarly, critics of Washington Bangla Radio on Internet wrote, "The title track, with its interesting use of the evergreen "Jo Waada Kiya" is hummable. Neel’s best compositions seem to be reserved for his dad Anjan Dutt’s movies."
Critical reception
Jaani Dyakha Hawbe received average remarks from critics and reviewers. Critics of Washington Bangla Radio on Internet said, "Birsa is an accomplished storyteller, but if he really wants to enter the realm of mainstream cinema, he has to try again. The movie has an open-ended climax, with the audience left to judge whether Hiya and Megh actually become a couple once again, or whether it is all an extended, tragic, dream. The problem is, the viewers had stopped caring a long time back." Gomolo users rated it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Reviewers of The Times of India rated it 3 out of 5 stars and stating that Birsa didn't go deep into exploring the dynamics of relationships and the predicaments of some of his characters are often left unexplained. Shoma A. Chatterji of The Indian Express commented, "Strong technique, weak content".
