Rohit Vats | News18: 2/5 | 4/10
The show seems to be in a rush to give a clean-chit to the women, who were themselves doing a lot of wrongs. A balanced approach might have found the viewers rooting a little more for them ... Full Review

Lehren: 3/5 | 6/10
The saving graces: three watchable women led by Pooja, Shahana and Amruta Subhash keep the show going. If there is a point that’s made, however inadvertently, it is that actors like Pooja are unafraid of ageing and being menopausal ... Full Review
