Critical Reception and Fan Buzz
Critics praise the darker tone and stellar acting. However, some note weak storytelling and inconsistent pacing. The father-son dynamic between Rana and Naga lacks emotional depth for some viewers. Fans on X are thrilled, calling it “bigger, bolder, better.” The series’ bold content makes it unsuitable for family viewing.
