Release
Jannat received approval from the Bangladesh Film Censor Board in the last week of March 2018 without cuts. It released in Bangladesh on 23 screens on 22 August 2018 during the Eid al-Adha holiday. According to newspapers The Daily Star and New Age, it did not do well at the box office.

One theater, the Sangeeta Cinema Hall in Satkhira, withdrew the film at the direction of police, after a complaint from the Imam Association Satkhira saying that Jannat might "hurt the religious sentiments of the people".
