Reception Critical response According to Fatin Hamama of The Daily Star, the film is the perfect representation of our society where women become victim of the patriarchal society. Remnant Glimpses wrote, "As much as Moshari looks like a great horror movie, understanding its underlying message will also find relevance to today's society. Which makes the content even more enjoyable". Panos Kotzathanasis of Asianmoviepulse.com thinks that the director wanted to show real issues through metaphors such as climate change. By using the dialogue "I can't breathe" in the film, the filmmaker accused the authority for these issues. Siffat Bin Ayub of The Business Standard praises its filmmaking. According to Siam Raihan of The Business Post, the film couldn’t evoke a sense of horror to the audiences. He criticised its mediocre screenplay and poor dialogue delivery. Calling it "the most visually striking short in Bangladesh", T. Aumia Khundkar of Ice Today praised the film.
