In earlier 2014, according to a Bengali magazine, director Kamaleshwar Mukherjee has already penned the script, taking the story forward from where it left and Dev has been quoted as saying that the next location, after the African safari, will be the dense forests of Amazon rainforest.

Ronita Goswami of Zee 24 Ghanta rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Amazon Obhijaan is a remarkable feat in Indian cinema in the genre of jungle adventure."

She praised the direction, narration, sets, cinematography, background music and acting of the lead cast, specially Dev.

And finally, the film ends where it all began — with a reference to National Geographic, the book that opened up the idea of Shankar’s first adventure, Chander Pahar, many years ago.

He crticised the film for the unnecessary excesses in every department - the editing, dialogues, cinematography, art direction, background score, sound design, costumes and the makeup.
