Reception
Anupam Kant Verma of Firstpost observed, "Kurbah achieves the commendable feat of putting together the pieces that form the giant mural of Iewduh while preserving their identities and nourishing them individually. As their lives begin to intertwine over the course of the film, these characters create a filigreed portrait of the market. Kurbah's filmmaking is particularly deft in the first 50 minutes."{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/in-iewduh-filmmaker-pradip-kurbah-creates-a-filigreed-portrait-of-the-shillong-bazaar-and-its-people-7554991.html|title=In Iewduh, filmmaker Pradip Kurbah creates a filigreed portrait of the Shillong bazaar and its people|author=Anupam Kant Verma|accessdate=3 April 2025|newspaper=Firstpost}}
