Jaaneman is the second Bengali film mostly shot in roads and exploring the cinematic genre of road films in Bengal after Dui Prithibi (2010). It became a blockbuster at the box office and ran more than 110 days in theatres. All the songs of the film were chartbuster upon its release and topped the music charts on the channel Sangeet Bangla.
A critic from The Indian Express rated the film three out of five and wrote that "Raja Chanda had a good story going but with a focus that gets split between romance on the one hand and action on the other, after a point of time, he seems to lose control over the film, if not on the action".[1]
