==Reception==
Vinamra Mathur of the ''[[Firstpost]]'' said in his review that "Every feeling may be related to by someone. 'Big Girls Don't Cry' also experiments with a lot. It begins with the fundamentals: arrogance, a pervasive sense of haughtiness in the classroom, and an assumed sense of entitlement and seniority."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/big-girls-dont-cry-web-series-review-pooja-bhatt-and-nitya-mehras-series-displays-the-charm-and-complexities-of-friendship-13748443.html|title='Big Girls Don't Cry' web-series review: Pooja Bhatt and Nitya Mehra's series displays the charm and complexities of friendship|first=Vinamra|last= Mathur|date=14 March 2024 |website=[[Firstpost]]|access-date=14 March 2024}}</ref> [[Shubhra Gupta]] of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' rated it 2.5/5 stars and stated in her review that "The show succeeds in capturing the distinct ambiance of an all-girls boarding school, where the adolescent students are exuberant, flamboyant, full of ideas, full of rebellion, and high on hormones."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/web-series/big-girls-dont-cry-review-girls-just-being-girls-in-meandering-less-than-perfect-series-9213677/|title=Big Girls Don't Cry review: Girls just being girls in meandering, less-than-perfect series|first=Shubhra|last= Gupta|date=14 March 2024 |newspaper=[[The Indian Express]]|access-date=14 March 2024}}</ref> Udita Jhunjhunwala writes in [[Scroll.in]] that "The atmosphere of the boarding school piques your curiosity and sustains it, however briefly. The screenplay hardly skims the surface. It's similar to killing time by skimming through Instagram, stopping at a post for a fleeting glance, and then continuing."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scroll.in/reel/1065163/big-girls-dont-cry-review-boarding-school-series-is-low-cal-fare|title='Big Girls Don't Cry review: Boarding school series is low-cal fare|first=Udita|last=Jhunjhunwala|date=14 March 2024 |website=[[Scroll.in]]|access-date=14 March 2024}}</ref> Archika Khurana of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated this series 3/5 stars and wrote in her review that, "It isn't quite a riveting series, but it is a sentimental walk down memory lane. It's charming performances and relevant themes could make it worthwhile to see once, but ultimately, it doesn't make an impact."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/english/big-girls-dont-cry/season-1/seasonreview/108425403.cms|title=Big Girls Don't Cry Season 1 Review: This Teen Drama Is a One-time Watch for Its Endearing Performances|first=Archika|last=Khurana|date=14 March 2024 |work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=14 March 2024}}</ref>
Titas Chowdhury of the ''[[News 18]]'' gave 3 stars out of 5 and said "The show is neither a nostalgic trip down the memory lane nor a hard-hitting representation of teenage pangs.
