== Reception ==
Yatamanyu Narain of ''[[News18]]'' rated the series 4 stars and penned "‘Murder In Mahim’ transcends the boundaries of a mere investigation, evolving into a searing portrayal of a world tainted by ignorance and intolerance—a poignant reminder of the enduring struggles faced by those battling to find acceptance and justice in a realm engulfed by shadows. This coming-of-age thriller, while not devoid of flaws, makes for an engaging and thought-provoking watch.<ref>{{cite news |last=Narain |first=Yatamanyu|title= Murder In Mahim Review: Vijay Raaz, Ashutosh Rana Delivering Thought Provoking Series Despite Its Flaws|url=https://www.news18.com/movies/murder-in-mahim-review-vijay-raaz-ashutosh-rana-deliver-thought-provoking-series-laced-with-daddy-issues-8884945.html|access-date=10 May 2024 |work=[[News18]] |date=10 May 2024}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

[[Shubhra Gupta]] of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' rated the film 2.5 stars and wrote "The eight-part series focuses on regular people (and their families) to be found in modest dwellings and crowded police thanas, through a sharp look at the LGBTQ community".<ref>{{cite news |last=Gupta |first=Shubhra |author-link=Shubhra Gupta |title=Murder In Mahim review: Vijay Raaz, Ashutosh Rana-starrer forces you to confront the stink of prejudice, homophobia|url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/kaalkoot-review-vijay-varma-leads-the-charge-in-understated-police-procedural-2-5-stars-4244538 |access-date=10 May 2024 |work=[[The Indian Express]] |date=10 May 2024}}</ref>

Rahul Desai of ''[[Film Companion]]'' wrote "Murder in Mahim is not unwatchable, but it fumbles the fundamentals of its genre. It mistakes slow-burning for slow. If it were an Indian batsman, it would be criticized for its strike rate – in Test cricket no less."<ref>{{cite news |last=Desai |first=Rahul|title= Murder in Mahim Review: A Toothless Caricature of a Crime Drama|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/streaming-reviews/murder-in-mahim-review-a-toothless-caricature-of-a-crime-drama|access-date=10 May 2024 |work=[[Film Companion]] |date=10 May 2024}}</ref>

[[Deepa Gahlot]] from ''[[Rediff.com]]'' rated 3/5 and stated "Among the many reasons to watch Murder In Mahim is that it may be a chance to wipe out -- if it is achievable by a Web series -- the air of judgment towards those who do not conform to the majority's idea of normal."<ref>{{cite news |last=Gahlot |first=Deepa |title=Murder In Mahim Review: Must Watch

Nandini Ramnath of ''[[Scroll.in]]'' stated in her review that "Murder in Mahim can never escape the suspicion that it would have been more effective as a movie. Overloaded with family bonding scenes and slippery on the procedural aspect, the show steadies itself through its unwavering focus on the murderous consequences of [[homophobia]]."<ref>{{cite news |last=Ramnath |first=Nandini |title='Murder in Mahim' review: A crime as unjust as wrongful death

Soumyabrata Gupta of ''[[Times Now]]'' rated 3/5 and wrote "Raj Acharya directs Murder In Mahim, spotlighting the riveting portrayals of Ashutosh Rana and Vijay Raaz.
