Reception
Tatsam Mukherjee from Firstpost highlighted the shows inability to engage with the viewers and other underwhelming aspects of the show.

Nandani Ramnath from the Scroll.in appreciated Pranjal Saxena and Shashank Kunwar energetically churn out cod dialogues, however she wasn't impressed with the loosely executed plot.

Pramit Chatterjee from Mashable stated the show as "A Mind-numbing Political Thriller For Internet Edgelords And Ignorant Boomers"

Prathyush Parasuraman from Filmcompanion stated in his review "Actors like Vyas capable of good performances play caricatures of stereotypes and it is heartening to see them unfettered, and un-embarrassed by the writing, which is click-bait-with-zero-weight."
