Reception

The Times Of India wrote, "A delightful and heart-warming series that captures the essence of rural India." [10]

Sunidhi Prajapat of OTTPlay wrote, "Vaibhav Tatwawaadi has shone in the titular character. From his dialogue delivery to making the audience feel the emotion of his character, he actually seems more like Nirmal than himself." [11]

Firstpost wrote "Nirmal Pathak ki Ghar Wapsi is not a slice-of-life narrative by any stretch - it’s possibly the very opposite of what we deem as a ‘comfort watch’ these days, and that's where the comparisons with Panchayat end." [12]

Shubham Kulkarni of Koimoi wrote, "There is enough heart, soul and awareness in here to make you feel warm and aware at the same time." [13]
