Reception

News18.com gave the series a rating of 1 star, saying that, "A bland and clichéd plot topped with forced sexual tension makes Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu's Dangerous a rather tedious watch." [21]

Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in called the series "harmless." [22]

Divya Ramnani of Spotboye.com stated that Dangerous's "fast-paced track ... will keep you on the edge of your seats with some spectacular performances and a streak of unprecedented twists and turns. With each episode, your curiosity to know the truth will only go a notch higher. Not to miss Karan and Bipasha's steamy romance that will [light] up your screens. There's also dance, music and suspense to keep you hooked." [23]
