Regarding the release of "Utshob" on Chorki, Tanim Noor said, "OTT release has now become a new distribution channel for films. People across the world watch films through this medium. For Bengali-speaking audiences, Chorki is a trusted platform for content."

"It is a matter of joy that 'Utshob' is being released here. Audiences from regions within the country where there are no cinema halls, as well as viewers abroad, will now have the opportunity to watch the film. I hope that, just as I used to watch dramas and films at home with my family during my childhood, viewers will similarly watch 'Utshob' at home on Chorki with their loved ones."
