Reception

[edit]

Abhishek Srivastava of The Times of India wrote "The initial episodes have only skimmed through these narratives, and it is hoped that the series will provide a well-defined rounded plot and proper background context to all the encounter stories."[8] Abhishek Srivastava of Navbharat Times rated series 3.5 stars out of 5.[9] Puneet Upadhyay of TV9 also rated series 3.5 stars out of 5.[10]

Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost wrote "It’s all a swing between cliches and charisma. Hooda has always been a reliable and solid actor often trapped in underwhelming stories. Here too, we have a father-son conflict, expletives for effect, and a doting, sanskari wife."[11] Vijayalakshmi Narayanan of The Free Press Journal rated the series 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "For those who are familiar with life and times in UP, the series is certainly designed for them. But, for much of the OTT-content consuming audience, that reside in the metros, there will be a sense of disconnect."[12] The Tribune wrote "It would have been better if at least half the episodes of the series had been streamed to strike a chord. The big villains have not been revealed yet and small goons and players are making it an easy task for Avinash and his team."[13]
