Reception
Prathyush Parasuraman of Film Companion, wrote, "A distant gaze animates this 2 hour long film set in Afghanistan- it begins with gliding drone-shots of a pristine town blessed in the shadows of the Hindu Kush, and it retains this distance for the rest of the film. Gun fights and bomb blasts play out at a safe mile away from the camera- as a viewer you are never made to feel like you are in the thick of things.
Release
Initially planned for a May 2019 theatrical release, Torbaaz was postponed to mid-2020 but due to cinemas shutdown owing to COVID-19 pandemic, it wasn't able to release that time too.[4] In July 2020, it was decided that Torbaaz was directly released online. It was released on 11 December 2020 on Netflix who purchased its digital and distribution rights
