Shikha Desai | Times of India: 3/5 | 6/10
Bandish Bandits is a good break from those predictable murder mysteries steeped in distrust, deceit and ample negativity. What's more? The visuals of ink-blue Jodhpur and its splendid havelis and forts are a treat to the eyes ... Full Review
Shubra Gupta | The Indian Express: - | 6/10
The conversation around the need to revive interest in classical music, and the fact that there doesn’t need to be a rift between the classical and the popular, needs to be on-going. Despite its flaws, Bandish Bandits keeps up focus on this crucial theme ... Full Review
Shilajit Mitra | The New Indian Express: - | 5/10
The album swings between severity and surprise, culminating in a glitter bomb of a song that is Chedkhaniyaan. Had the narrative beats landed as well, Bandish Bandits would have soared over competitors ... Full Review
Dyuti Gupta | She The People: - | 7.5/10
How we wish that a little effort was put into showcasing their growth together as a couple as well! But then, there’s a stellar cast always at hand to give the show a leg up whenever it hits a flat note. On top of that, there are the faultless musical scores. And for these big and small reasons, the show is a must-watch ... Full Review
Saibal Chatterjee | NDTV: 3/5 | 6/10
Bandish Bandits often tends to wilt under its own weight. But wait, it isn't a washout. The actors, led by Naseeruddin Shah, lend emotional authenticity to the show ... Full Review

Pratishruti Ganguly | FirstPost: 3/5 | 6/10
However, in an ecosystem of films and shows that uphold the unpleasant, grim realities of the world we are living in, its appropriate cheesiness serves as good ol’ popcorn entertainment. And that is perhaps why, even with its flaws, Bandish Bandits will be worth your while ... Full Review
Nandini Ramnath | Scroll: - | 6/10
The conflict within the Rathod family has its shares of melodramatic excesses, but it is at least more engaging than the cliched love story ... Full Review
Mayank Shekhar | Mid-Day: 3.5/5 | 7/10
When he talks about lung-control, or projection of voice, so it travels far; or indeed the role of an artiste being to express an emotion one hasn't necessarily lived—you feel like you're in his class, at once enlightened and entertained. Happy to have signed up ... Full Review
Rahul Desai | Film Companion: - | 4/10

Techquila: 2.2/5 | 4.4/10
Pretentious and Insubstantial. Bandish Bandits tries to be a fresh change in the world of musical themed shows but turns out to be just the opposite with cliched and hasty storytelling! ... Full Review
Just For Movie Freaks: 3/5 | 6/10
The casting is so spot on that the hangover of the characters lingers even after the show. On the other hand, I am not credible enough to review Naseeruddin Shah sir’s brilliance, and I’d like to keep it that way ... Full Review

Cinestaan: 2/4 | 5/10
Ambitious musical that tries to include too much, has a splendid soundtrack but falters in its storytelling when it veers between a romance and a family drama ... Full Review
Kriti Tulsiani | Zoom TV: 2.5/5 | 5/10
All in all, Bandish Bandits can be a pick if you want to enjoy Shah's marvel, Sheeba's exemplary performance combined with other nuanced portrayals by a rainbow of actors, who are extremely impressive in their craft and have something new to offer in almost every scene ... Full Review
