Reception
editTenida and Co. opened to mixed response from the audience. Ujjainee Roy of The Times of India rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote " The film has a large number of loopholes in terms of the storytelling and many characters are under utilised. However, a Tenida lover can watch this film in the theatres."[9] Agnivo Niyogi of The Telegraph wrote "The camaraderie and chemistry between the characters is the driving force behind TeniDa and Company. But the film failed to deliver on the nostalgic quotient."[10]
Subhasmita Kanji of Hindustan Times wrote "The scenes throughout the film seemed to be forced one after the other and there was no continuity among the. Overall, the film is a huge disappointment.[11] Bongo Banjo reviewed the film on a positive note saying " "Tenida and Company" is a delightful comedy drama that leaves a lasting impression. With its engaging storyline, stellar performances, and a perfect blend of comedy and drama, the film deserves recognition and appreciation."[12] Shamayita Chakraborty of OTTPlay rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote " Despite a unengaging first half and weak screenplay, the film is a one-time watch, especially for children."[13]
