Critical reception

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the series 1.5 stars and stated that "Another cross-border sub-plot featuring a couple of undercover agents has car chases, and shoot-outs, and fireworks. This ratchets the temperature a little, which overall remains tepid, and predictable." [13]

Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com rated 2.5 stars to the series and opined that "Balakot And Beyond veers between intriguing and boring." [14]

Dhaval Roy of The Times of India rated 3.5/5 and stated that "The series does have a few predictable and far-fetched moments, especially regarding one of its pivotal characters." [15]

Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost rated 2.5/5 and wrote in his review "The aerial action, most recently seen in Operation Valentine and Fighter , fail to ignite any sense of panic or patriotism." [16]

Rishil Jogani for Pinkvilla rated 3/5 and wrote that "A show like Ranneeti has very little margin for error because it is inspired by true events and something that is added only for dramatic effect, makes it less believable, overall." [17]
