Upon release, Dracula Sir received positive to mixed reviews. Critics praised the performances (Anirban Bhattacharya), music, costuming, and makeup, but found the screenplay flawed. The film is based around the story of a revolutionary, during the Naxalbari revolution. It was a CPIML party based revolutionary movement around West Bengal which lasted until the 1970's.
