==Premise==<br />
In the midst of a stagnant marriage, an upright middle-aged man's world is turned upside down when he discovers his wife's secret trysts with a paid lover.

Yet his unconventional path to revenge forces him to confront his fragile ego, biases, and desires. Along the way, a mix of eccentric characters and absurd situations sparks unexpected epiphanies. Rangeen is a humorous and poignant exploration of identity, manhood, morality and the true cost of getting what you want.<br />

==Reception==<br />
[[The Free Press Journal]] wrote: “In an era where streaming often favours titillation over storytelling, Rangeen arrives with a scandalous premise — gigolos, infidelity, revenge — but swerves into unexpected territory… a soulful, slow-burn character study that flirts with scandal yet lands on emotional depth, restraint, and quiet, deeply human truths.”<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ribeiro |first=Troy |title=Rangeen Review: Vineet Kumar Singh's Series is a Gritty Gigolo Saga That Romps with Restraint |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/rangeen-review-vineet-kumar-singhs-series-is-a-gritty-gigolo-saga-that-romps-with-restraint |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250727120740/https://www.freepressjournal.in/entertainment/rangeen-review-vineet-kumar-singhs-series-is-a-gritty-gigolo-saga-that-romps-with-restraint |archive-date=27 July 2025 |access-date=31 July 2025 |website=[[The Free Press Journal]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[HT Media|OTTplay]] called ''Rangeen'' “a bold, bizarre, and brilliant midlife crisis,” praising the show for its originality and risk-taking, especially highlighting Vineet Kumar Singh’s performance: “Vineet Kumar Singh excels as Adarsh, and this is something that you have never seen him do ever.” <ref>{{Cite web |last=Kulkarni |first=Shubham |date=Jul 25, 2025 |title=Rangeen Review: A bold, bizarre, and brilliant midlife crisis |url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/rangeen-review-a-bold-bizarre-and-brilliant-midlife-crisis/00a0617059571 |website=ottplay.com}}</ref><br />
<br />
Rajshri Deshpande’s portrayal of Naina drew particular acclaim, with [[The Indian Express]] calling her arc “the most special part” of the series: “Naina refuses to apologise for her actions… A woman’s loneliness, in bed and out of it, is reason enough for her to seek succour outside of her marriage, and no one needs to judge her for it.” While Gupta and others noted that the series at times struggled with tonal cohesion and narrative sharpness, there was broad recognition of its willingness to provoke, challenge, and invite reflection.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gupta |first=Shubhra |date=25 July 2025 |title=Rangeen movie review: Neither colourful nor edgy, Vineet Kumar Singh strays from the course |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/rangeen-movie-review-neither-colourful-nor-edgy-vineet-kumar-singh-strays-from-the-course-10148741/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250726014301/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/rangeen-movie-review-neither-colourful-nor-edgy-vineet-kumar-singh-strays-from-the-course-10148741/ |archive-date=26 July 2025 |access-date=27 July 2025 |work=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref><br />

Rahul Desai for [[The Hollywood Reporter|The Hollywood Reporter India]] remarked that while Rangeen “isn’t badly made,” its “reluctance to commit” at times undermined its impact, suggesting the series was “shy about the very repression it platforms.” <ref>{{Cite news |last=Desai |first=Rahul |title='Rangeen' Series Review: A Black Comedy That's Too Busy Admiring Itself |url=https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/streaming/rangeen-series-review-a-black-comedy-thats-too-busy-admiring-itself |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250726131423/https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/streaming/rangeen-series-review-a-black-comedy-thats-too-busy-admiring-itself |archive-date=26 July 2025 |access-date=27 July 2025 |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter India|The Hollywood Reporter]]}}</ref><br />
