[10] [11] Shilajit Mitra of The Hindu noted, "Agastya, a decent lead, delivers his lines in a hushed, far-off way. It’s as if Archie is always non-committal about what he says or feels." [12] Udita Jhunjhunwala of Scroll.in stated, "Agastya Nanda is likeable though a touch diffident in his timbre. Unlike some of his peers, he appears to have made an effort to play a singer." [13]
