Reception
Critics praised the satirical slapstick comedy, dialogue, characterisation and acting but criticized the length of the episodes.[12]
India Today wrote "Saad Khan and Danish Sait, who penned the story, made fun of every topic. From homophobia to body shaming to racism, you'll find a joke on everything. The series does not shy away from showing how the politicians exploit the system and the audience. More importantly, it cleverly takes a jibe at current politicians without using their names. No points for guessing who’s who".[5]
