Reception

Murshid received both favourable and unfavourable reviews.

ABP News rated it 3 out of 5 and commented, "These seven episodes of gangster drama keep the audience's attention on hold till the climax." [9] Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India rated it 3.5 out of 5 and wrote in his review, "One of the standout aspects of 'Murshid' is its setting. The backdrop of South Mumbai, with its gritty streets and looming underworld, lends the show an authentic 90s grunge..." [10] Sakshi Verma of India TV too rated it 3 out 5 and commented, "It appears that writer and director Shravan Tiwari has worked hard to create a realistic sense of the plot." [11] Times Now also gave it a 3.5 out of 5. [12]

Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated 2/5 stars and notes "The pace of the show and the many twists do keep up the interest of the viewer, even if most of what goes on is implausible. Everything is simply designed to prove what an indestructible force Murshid is, probably in the hope of a Season 2." [13] Scroll.in commented, "Murshid is salvaged by a few sharp performances and a welcome intent to wrap up matters with seven episodes." [14]
