Critical reception
editAbhishek Srivastava of The Times of India rated the series 3.5/5 and writes "Some plot points raise questions and feel poorly thought out."[3] Sriva A of Moneycontrol writes "Certain plot points stretch logic, particularly when a key informer is exposed and killed, yet the sharp-minded officer at the center fails to connect the dots."[4] A reviewer from Aaj Tak rated the series 2.5/5.[5]
