Abhimanyu Mathur | Hindustan Times: - | 5.5/10
Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein manages to tell a familiar story differently but doesn’t dare to do it fully. It continues to employ the tropes that have made other shows a hit partly in a hope to ride the wave and partly to overcome the narrative’s flaws ... Full Review

Gautaman Bhaskaran | News18: - | 4/10
At eight episodes, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein is full of loopholes, and the writer (also Sengupta) appears to have paid scant attention to details with the result that not only does the series get shoddy, but beyond the first few parts becomes a drag ... Full Review

Rohan Naahar | The Indian Express: 3.5/5 | 7/10
Pulpy new Netflix show is what Haseen Dillruba wishes it was. Netflix's genre-bending new show is kitschy pulp fiction done right. Mostly ... Full Review

In Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein ideas sag like the unclaimed fat of a bad script that neither believes in its premise, nor shows the conviction to follow its own path ... Full Review
Sukanya Verma | Rediff: 2.5/5 | 6/10
Despite its stumbling tone, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein's pulpy misery is watchable for its able cast of reliable veterans and talented youngsters. But it's Tahir Raj Bhasin's steady charisma and tangible conflict that keeps us invested in the foolhardiness of the premise ... Full Review
Cinema Express: 2/5 | 4/10
Narrative chaos replaces romantic jeopardy in this 8-part series. The show is not bad, it’s just too digressive. ... Full Review

Pankaj Shukla | Amar Ujala: 2/5 | 4/10
वेब सीरीज ‘ये काली काली आंखें’ औसत सी सीरीज है, औसत सी कहानियां देखकर टाइमपास करने वालो के लिए। इसमें दिल बाग बाग कर देने जैसा कुछ नहीं है ... Full Review
Zoom TV: 3/5 | 6/10
The series, so far, seems to have it all. It's entertaining and gripping. Right in the beginning, Othello's words: "For she had eyes and chose me" reflect on the screen and well, it might be a hint to how the story unfolds ... Full Review
Money Control: - | 5/10
Aankhen has all the trappings of '90s Bollywood pulp, but lacks cinematic breadth and feel ... Full Review

Siddharth Sengupta, along with a long list of other creators, has hit it out of the park with this genre-bending romance comedy pulpy thriller ... Full Review
OTT Play: 2.5/5 | 5/10
With the likes of Mirzapur and Undekhi preceding the show, the standards set were rather high and only a hard-hitting narrative could have broken the mould and set a new benchmark. For now, Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein just manages to make a feeble dent ... Full Review
PinkVilla: 3/5 | 5.5/10
Yeh Kali Kali Ankhein may seem promising as Sengupta establishes the dramatic world but it fizzles out halfway through. By the end, you may find yourself struggling to get through the last two episodes as the writers drag the climax to reach a logical end ... Full Review
Peeping Moon: 3.5/5 | 7/10
Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein manages to tell a familiar story with some interesting twists and turns but continues to employ the familiar tropes of other series and does not try to stand out of the herd. Nevertheless, it is a good watch ... Full Review
India Forums: 3.5/5 | 7/10
