The Times of India gave the series 3 out of 5 stars, calling it a "pot-pourri of emotional highs and lows" and praising the performances.[10]
Scroll.in noted that the series "rolls out ample distractions from its archaic views on sex" and highlighted Shweta Basu Prasad's performance.[4]

Hollywood Reporter India called it a "watchable but uninspired remake," stating that it "loses its bite in translation."[12]
