Reception
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said that "Konkona Sen Sharma fronts classic conflict of a whodunit with domestic and professional pushes and pulls in play, even as murky details which shaped the crime begin emerging." [11] Anurag Singh Bohra of India Today gave it 3 stars out of 5 and stated that "'Search: The Naina Murder Case' is a must-watch for cinephiles who like to study not just cinema, but also the versatility of actors like Konkona. It is also meant for those craving the human element and complex characters in crime-thrillers." [12] Abhimanyu Mathur of Hindustan Times rated it 3/5 stars and said that "Konkona Sen Sharma's acting is one of the highlights of this gripping but uneven show." [13]
Archika Khurana of The Times of India rated it 3/5 stars and observed that "A well-acted, atmospheric whodunit that grips in parts but leaves you wanting more." [14] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in observed that "Search frustratingly turns off the tap just when the flow is the strongest, ending on a cliffhanger after six episodes. This ploy to keep viewers hooked interrupts the momentum that has been steadily building up. Fortunately, Search has enough reserve fuel to resume the journey." [15] Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India commented that "The six-episode police procedural suffers from all the symptoms of the Indian Remake Syndrome." [16]
Arkadev Ghoshal of Deccan Herald rated it 2/5 stars and siad that "The series is a lukewarm execution. It manages to deliver a balanced narrative, with the execution partly rising beyond the average police procedural." [17] Divya Nair of Rediff.com gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and stated that "In just five tightly packed episodes, Search: The Naina Murder Case takes you through a whirlwind of theories, emotions and shocking revelations, making it a compelling Indian crime drama." [18] Yatamanyu Narain of News 18 rated it 3/5 stars and said that "Search: The Naina Murder Case is gripping and intriguing in parts, enriched by strong performances and an intelligent premise, but it never quite achieves the narrative cohesion it strives for." [19]
Lachmi Deb Roy of Firstpost gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and writes in her review that "Search: The Naina Murder Case is immersive and engaging. Most importantly even though it is a series with all its twists and turns, it is crisp." [20] Aishwarya Vasudevan of OTT Play rated it 3/5 stars and said that "This Indian adaptation of Nordic noir The Killing is a mixed bag. Konkona Sen Sharma is brilliant as the lead detective, but the plot is overstuffed with suspects and remains frustratingly unresolved." [21] Subhash K Jha of news 24 4 stars out of 5 and writes that "The narration is pacy but never out of breath.What really elevates the show are the performances. [22]
