Critical reviews

Letty Mariam Abraham of Mid-Day gave 2.5 stars and wrote "Watch the show for Vyas and his quirky remarks; the rest offers nothing new." [1]

Rajat Tripathi of Bollywood Life wrote "Beautiful locations, crisp editing, adventurous tasks make for a near perfect reality show only failed by the poor execution of the concept. Do check out the show if your are a Sumeet Vyas fan...you haven't seen this raw and real side of the talented actor." [5]

Almas Khateeb of The Quint praises the editing, saying "Another thing that deserves a mention is the camera work on the show. The shots that pan into the wilderness are amazing and provide an immersive experience." [6]
