==Reception==
Archika Khurana of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave 3.5 stars and observed that " Watch it for a soulful spin on the classic detective genre and Ram Kapoor’s eccentric performance."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Archika|last=Khurana|title=Mistry Season 1 Review : A quirky crime drama anchored by Ram Kapoor's sharp performance|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/mistry/mistry-season-1/seasonreview/122049022.cms|access-date=2025-06-27 |website=The Times of India}}</ref>
Rahul Desai of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter India]]'' stated that "The official adaptation of the Emmy-winning ‘Monk’ is incurious and functional."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Rahul|last=Desai|title='Mistry' Series Review: Ram Kapoor Stars in This Uninspiring Remake of 'Monk'|url=https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/streaming/mistry-series-review-ram-kapoor-plays-the-monk-who-sold-his-soul|access-date=2025-06-27 |website=The Hollywood Reporter India}}</ref>
Vinamra Mathur of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that "The nature of the performances and background music suggest the tone is going to be perennially light and lunatic but in good ways. And Kapoor surely has a ball playing Armaan Mistry."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Vinamra|last=Mathur|title='Mistry' web-series review: A lovable Ram Kapoor and a solid Mona Singh make this crime-comedy work|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/mistry-web-series-review-a-lovable-ram-kapoor-and-a-solid-mona-singh-make-this-crime-comedy-work-13897504.html|access-date=2025-06-27 |website=Firstpost}}</ref>

Sushmita Dey of ''[[Times Now]]'' rated it 3/5 stars and observed that "Is Mistry perfect? No. But is it entertaining? Yes, a bit. It’s not a deep dive into crime or psychology, but it offers a fun, breezy watch led by an actor who clearly enjoys being back in the spotlight."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Sushmita|last=Dey|title=

Aishwarya Vasudevan of ''[[OTT Play]]'' rated it 2/5 stars and said that "Ram Kapoor shines in a refreshing role in Mistry, but the show lacks intrigue. Despite solid performances, predictable plots and shallow mysteries make it a forgettable adaptation of Monk."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Aishwarya|last=Vasudevan|title=Mistry review: Ram Kapoor tries to be all in — but where's the mystery?|url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/mistry-review-ram-kapoor-tries-to-be-all-in-but-where-the-mystery/7a0e8d1d29386|access-date=2025-06-27 |website=OTT Play}}</ref>
Anindita Mukherjee of ''[[News 18]]'' rated it 3.5/5 stars and commented that "Mistry will give you such opportunities in bounty. All in all, if you have been rooting for a show that will make you laugh, think and bite your nails at the same time, Mistry is worth every ounce of your valuable weekend time."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Anindita|last=Mukherjee|title=Mistry Review: Ram Kapoor Impresses As Ex-Cop Battling OCD, Mona Singh Holds Her Own|url=https://www.news18.com/movies/reviews/mistry-review-ram-kapoor-impresses-as-ex-cop-battling-ocd-mona-singh-holds-her-own-ws-l-9407173.html|access-date=2025-06-26 |website=News 18}}</ref>

Nandini Ramnath of ''[[Scroll.in]]'' stated that "Mistry is a pleasant enough time-passer, with a hero who is antsy rather than angsty, troubled rather than traumatised. "<ref>{{Cite web |first=Anindita|last=Mukherjee|title='Mistry' review: New 'Monk' in a newish bottle|url=https://scroll.in/reel/1083674/mistry-review-new-monk-in-a-newish-bottle|access-date=2025-06-26 |website=Scroll.in}}</ref>
Subhash K Jha of ''[[News 24 (Indian TV channel)|News 24]]'' gave 2 stars out of 5 "Director Rishabh Seth allows Ram Kapoor no room to innovate or even move an inch away from the original version. Resultantly the character seems stilted and frozen."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Subhash K|last=Jha|title=Mistry Review: A Tame Lame Version Of The Original|url=https://news24online.com/entertainment/mistry-review-a-tame-lame-version-of-the-original/595086/|access-date=2025-06-26 |website=News 24}}</ref>
Amit Bhatia of ''[[ABP News]]'' rated it 3/5 stars and said that "Ram Kapoor starrer is a neat (pun intended) little series that won’t revolutionise the genre but offers just enough fun, curiosity, and emotional pull to keep you hooked."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Amit|last=Bhatia|title=Mistry Review: Ram Kapoor's OCD Detective Is Quirky, Clean And Surprisingly Entertaining|url=https://news.abplive.com/entertainment/ott/mistry-review-starring-ram-kapoor-mona-singh-on-jio-hotstar-detective-series-1783353|access-date=2025-06-26 |website=ABP News}}</ref>
[[Deepa Gahlot]] of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' gave it 2.5 stars and noted that "Mistry may work for some, but also raises the question about mental illness being treated as a means of amusement for audiences."<ref>{{Cite web |first=Deepa|last=Gahlot|title=Mistry Review: Mildly Entertaining|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/mistry-review/20250627.htm|access-date=2025-06-26 |website=Rediff.com}}</ref>
==Controversy==
In June 2025, actor Ram Kapoor was removed from promotional activities for the upcoming series Mistry after allegations surfaced that he made sexually suggestive and off-colour remarks during a media interaction, causing discomfort among members of the JioHotstar promotional and publicity teams.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ram Kapoor No Longer Part of Mistry Promotions After Passing Alleged Sexual Comments: Report|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/ram-kapoor-no-longer-part-of-mistry-promotions-after-passing-alleged-sexual-comments-report-8746826|work=NDTV|date=24 June 2025}}</ref>
Following internal review and a formal complaint, the platform decided to cancel his remaining promotional appearances, thereafter conducting media interviews solely with co-star Mona Singh.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jio Hotstar removes Ram Kapoor from 'Mistry' promotions following reports of inappropriate behaviour|url=https://www.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/news/jio-hotstar-removes-ram-kapoor-from-mistry-promotions-following-reports-of-inappropriate-behaviour-2025-06-24-996082|work=India TV|date=24 June 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Ram Kapoor excluded from the promotions of Mistry after making s*xually offensive and inappropriate remarks: Report|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/ram-kapoor-excluded-from-the-promotions-of-mistry-after-making-sxually-offensive-and-inappropriate-remarks-report/articleshow/122043481.cms|work=The Times of India|date=24 June 2025}}</ref>

In a subsequent statement, Kapoor publicly addressed the controversy, admitting that “everything I’ve been accused of saying, I have said,” and declaring himself “guilty as charged,” while explaining that he did not intend to offend those present and had perceived the environment as casual and friendly.
He also said that had he sensed anyone was uncomfortable, he would have corrected himself immediately.<ref>{{cite web|title=After apologising, Ram Kapoor brushes off inappropriate sexual remarks controversy as 'not a big deal', but admits his family 'went berserk'|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/ram-kapoor-brushes-off-inappropriate-sexual-remarks-controversy-family-friends-reaction-10108114/|work=The Indian Express|date=5 July 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Ram Kapoor admits he is 'guilty' of making inappropriate remarks after getting dropped from Mistry promotions: 'Can't be my obnoxious normal self' |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/ram-kapoor-admits-he-is-guilty-of-making-inappropriate-remarks-after-getting-dropped-from-mistry-promotions-10088468/|work=The Indian Express|date=25 June 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Ram Kapoor Breaks Silence On Being Dropped From Mistry Promotions Due To Inappropriate Sexual Comments: "Guilty As Charged"|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/ram-kapoor-breaks-silence-on-being-dropped-from-mistry-promotions-due-to-inappropriate-sexual-comments-guilty-as-charged-8759558|work=NDTV|date=25 June 2025}}</ref>
