Critical reviews 

Akhila Damodaran of OTTPlay has given it 4/5 stars stating that the web series is a feminist, bold and unconventional Pakistani noir. The series has many surprises. It has bold and heretical as it shows that women are also drinking and smoking, never seen in Pakistani dramas. It is well written and edited. The actors' performances were impressive, and the main highlight was the background score. The web series is a definite watch that has a rare subject dealt in Urdu cinema and dramas and comes with a pleasant surprise. Roushni Sarkar of Cinestaan gave 2.5/5 stars stating that the web series is an aesthetic, audacious depiction of women seeking revenge and serving justice. The well-written series boasts of power-packed performances by the entire cast, though it gains momentum and intensity a little late. Series with a power-pack performance by all the actors, music composer has played well, the climax moment of each story and the jaw-dropping twists reward the viewer's patience. Archi Sengupta of Leisurebyte says that the stories involving women are usually wild, scary or shocking or a mixture of all three. The web series has some great performances. In a femme fatale story, the actresses are absolutely wonderful and great to watch. Set in one neighbourhood, these women form the backbone of the story that keeps everything together. The characters are interesting and their lives’ problems are shocking enough to warrant at least one watch. References
