Cast and characters

Critical reception

Grace Cyril of Times Now rated the film 2 stars, stating, "While the storyline might have failed to impress us, the actors are the ones who save Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar from being a total dud." [4]

Archika Khurana of Times of India also rated the series 2.0 stars, commenting, "In conclusion, Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar fails to live up to its potential. The predictable plot and underdeveloped themes hold it back, despite decent performances from the lead actors." [5]

Amit Bhatia of ABP News criticized the series, saying, "The story is so stale that it becomes useless to talk about other things. Overall, this series is revenge on you, do not take it from anyone." [6]
