Writing in the Statesman, the noted film critic Swapan Mullick writes thus about the film: Suman Ghosh's Kadambari revives the tragic story of Tagore's sister-in-law with whom the young poet shared a tender relationship that ended in her suicide at the age of 25. The film is quite watchable with many wonderful Rabindrasangeet (Tomare koriya chi jiboner o dhruba taraВ…) and is extremely well-shot. The director Suman Ghosh (Nobel Chor, Poddokep) does hint of intimacy in the Kadambari- Robi relationship but virtually clears Robi in her suicidal act putting the blame largely on her philandering husband (Kunal Sen). The film has been based on the story PROTHOM ALO by Sunil Gangopadhyay. Parambrata Chattopadhyay as Robi and Konkana Sen Sharma in the titular role act credibly.The supporting cast of Srikanta Acharya, Kunal Sen and others does well too. Speculation has been rife about the exact nature of the relationship between the two, but as most biographers of Tagore opines that there hardly existed any concrete evidence of their relationship being romantic in its nature. She played a prominent role in the life of the poet вЂ“ looked after his needs during his growing up years, providing him companionship and above all giving him encouragement in his writing pursuit. Kadambari was the wife of the elder brother of Rabindranath Tagore.
