Release

Season 1 premiered on 10 July 2020 on Amazon Prime Video. Season 2 was released on 9 November 2022.

Reception

Rohan Nahaar writing for Hindustan Times called the series "Inept and illogical, [and says] Amazon’s strangest show lets Abhishek Bachchan, Amit Sadh down." Shubhra Gupta writing for Indian Express said "Somewhere in there, in all the roiling and toiling, are the bones of a crackerjack thriller. But this loosely written season 2, bouncing in and out of a kidnapping drama, and the creation and search of a psychotic killer, gets mired in its own muddles, and ends up being plain preposterous." Saibal Chatterjee writing for NDTV called the series "low On oxygen", giving it 1.5 of 5.
