Reception

Sukanya Verma of Rediff rated the series two star out of five stars, writing, "Despite a promising premise, the eight-part series is overly enamoured with the protagonist's 'geekdom' and failing to deliver a believable mother-son slice-of-life story."[9] Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express gave the series 2+1⁄2 out of 5 stars.[10] Riya Sharma of Hindustan Times awarded the series 3/5 stars.[11]

Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India commeneted that "The numbers just don’t add up."[12] Udita Jhunjhunwala writing for the Scroll.in observed that "Maa Ka Sum begins as a cutesy, almost saccharine dramedy before veering into darker territory touching on issues such as mental health and abandonment. These shifts feel abrupt and underdeveloped, as though the series is trying to mount seriousness on an already shaky foundation."[13]

Kartik Bhardwaj of Cinema Express rated it 2/5 stars and said that "The Prime Video show is a mere assemblage of elements lacking the x factor".[14] Sana Farzeen of India Today also gave 2 stars out of 5 and said that "What begins as a clever, promising concept slowly turns into an overextended equation, one that keeps working itself out without arriving at a meaningful answer. And in the process, it does something unexpected. It makes math feel exhausting all over again."[15]
