Reception
Archika Khurana of Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that "Psycho Saiyaan thrives on its central idea: “I love you and you love me — baaki sab characters hain.” It remains engaging, intense and intermittently gripping, even if not consistently unpredictable. While the series isn’t without flaws, its strong performances and unconventional premise make this tale of psychotic obsession a fairly compelling thriller worth a watch."[10] Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated it 1.5/5 stars and writes that "Every lead character is nuts in Psycho Saiyaan."[11]
Arpita Sarkar of OTT Play rated it 1/5 stars and writes that "There were high expectations from Tejasswi Prakash’s OTT debut, but she fails to impress, turning this romantic-thriller into a disappointing saga."[12] Koimoi's Trisha Gaur gave half stars out of 5 and "Ravi Kishan and Tejasswi Prakash's Psycho Saiyaan follows the footsteps of Taapsee Pannu's Hasseen Dillruba but loses the path."[13]
Shruti Sampat of Mid-Day stated that "Psycho Saiyaan is a missed opportunity. A taut psychological drama needs a taut script, but this film delivers neither tension nor coherence. For viewers hoping for an engaging thriller, what they will find instead is a disjointed and disappointing watch. A muddled narrative and underwhelming execution make Psycho Saiyaan a forgettable thriller despite its promising cast."[14] Amit Bhatia of ABP News gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that "Overall, Psycho Saiyaan is a compelling blend of suspense, thrill, romance, and obsession. Its engaging storyline, strong performances, and unpredictable twists make it a powerful and gripping web series."[15]
