Release

Subhash K. Jha for SKJBollywoodnews rated 1/2 star and wrote "It wouldn’t be right to ask what is wrong with Nakaab. It would be better to ask,what is right with it.The answer is, nothing! Every aspect of this tawdry trashy series deserves to be hooted and booted." Himesh Mankad for Pinkvilla wrote "The first episode is full of cliches – the powerful using their power to close the case, a junior level cop planning to run a parallel investigation going against the norm, a backstory to the TV star and of course, the dirty world of showbiz." Scroll.in staff found resemblance to death of Sushant Singh Rajput and wrote "The series clearly intends to resonate with the death by suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput. Nakaab ventures to say something important about the seamy side of showbiz, but ends up being an exercise in cashing in on a tragedy." Shaheen Irani of OTTplay wrote "Zohra Mehra (Mallika Sherawat) gives a powerful performance. While being sensual, she also looks dangerous and scary." Shwetank Shekhar of TheLallantop wrote "Nakab has nothing new to offer to the audience, but one should watch the series if it's watchable." References
