Reception
editReviewing for The Indian Express, critic Shubhra Gupta wrote "Not all the episodes work; a couple are lax, and in a few of places the jokey tone is either at odds with the seriousness of the case, or doesn’t land."[7]
India Today gave 3 stars out of 5 and stated "law and justice are two very different beasts".[8] Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave 3.5 stars out of five and said, It is a unique series that transports viewers into the quirky world of the district court of Patparganj.[9]
Aishwarya Vasudevan of OTT Play gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said in her review that "Maamla Legal Hai does plead guilty to charges of tickling the funny bone in the right way, and it's the infamous cases along with the performances that serve as lawful entertainment."[10]
