Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu in her review stated that "The payoffs in the form of twists and turns happen rather late and are not enough. Perhaps it was alluring to have nine episodes to befit the title, but the series could have done with liberal trimming". [4] Echoing the same, Pinkvilla 's Arvind V opined that "The survival drama trappings deserved a better canvas, and a profound script. Torture and beatings are no substitute for thrills and drama". [5]
Comparing it with Money Heist , Latha Srinivasan of Firstpost praised the performances of the ensemble cast while criticizing the screenplay and writing.
