== Reception ==
[[Saibal Chatterjee]] of ''[[NDTV]]'' rated the 2 stras out of 5 and wrote "''Aar Ya Paar'' isn't interested in exploring the plight of the tribal community that Sarju is a part of. The forest dwellers and their poisoned river are not what the spotlight is on. The series follows Sarju's single-minded efforts to punish the men responsible for his father's death."<ref>{{cite news |last=Chatterjee |first=Saibal |author-link=Saibal Chatterjee |title=Aar Ya Paar Review: Aditya Rawal Does His Best To Carry The Weight Of The Story |url=https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/aar-ya-paar-review-aditya-rawal-does-his-best-to-carry-the-weight-of-the-story-2-stars-3649938 |access-date=29 January 2023 |work=[[NDTV]] |date=30 December 2022}}{{rating|2|5}}</ref>

Kartik Bhardwaj for ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' rated 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "Except for Ashish Vidyarthi and Dibyendu Bhattacharya, the cast also doesn’t leave a mark. Aditya Rawal as Sarju has few dialogues but his expressions speak even less. He is either poker-faced or enraged."<ref>{{cite news |last=Bhardwaj |first=Kartik |title='Aar Ya Paar' series review: Doesn't aim high but still misses the mark |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2022/dec/31/aar-ya-paar-series-review-doesnt-aim-high-but-still-misses-the-mark-2533254.html |access-date=30 January 2023 |work=[[The New Indian Express]] |date=31 December 2022}}{{rating|2|5}}</ref>

Nandini Ramnath for ''[[Scroll.in]]'' wrote "The Disney+ Hotstar series gives the urgent issue of the exploitation of indigenous communities the fully filmy treatment. Designed as a battle between sinister suits and forest-dwellers dressed in brown sack-like costumes, the show even has Avatar-like moments – but without the visual effects."<ref>{{cite news |last=Ramnath |first=Nandini |title='Aar Ya Paar' review: The exploitation of Adivasis gets the fully filmy treatment |url=https://scroll.in/reel/1040618/aar-ya-paar-review-the-exploitation-of-adivasis-gets-the-fully-filmy-treatment |access-date=30 January 2023 |work=[[Scroll.in]] |date=30 December 2022}}</ref>

Manik Sharma for ''[[Firstpost]]'' wrote "This series travels to Romania, Poland etc but where it falters first is in the fictional town of Jadalganj, where it is initially set. Dahan, another Hotstar show set on the margins of urban India, did well to firmly anchor itself in a native culture that has to both elude yet intrigue. Aar Ya Paar achieves none of it because the milieu feels insincere, not to mention, offensive at certain points."<ref>{{cite news |last=Sharma |first=Manik |title=Aar Ya Paar review: Underwhelming series misses its mark while also searching for It |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/aar-ya-paar-review-underwhelming-series-misses-its-mark-while-also-searching-for-it-11898991.html |access-date=30 January 2023 |work=[[Firstpost]] |date=30 December 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

Archika Khurana for ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote "The supporting cast, such as Shilpa Shukla, Vaarun Bhagat and Sumeet Vyas, has very little to contribute to the series. Though Sumeet is an interesting narrator, it would have been a great deal better if all of these characters were curated with more attention. In fact, even Patralekha’s character, Sanghamitra Das, who’s a doctor and connects with the tribals, falls short in terms of an emotional curve."<ref>{{cite news |last=Khurana |first=Archika |title=Aar Ya Paar Season 1 Review: A gripping tale of vengeance and survival |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/aar-ya-paar/aar-ya-paar-season-1/seasonreview/96393583.cms |access-date=30 January 2023 |date=30 December 2022}}{{rating|3.5|5}}</ref>

Ajit Andhare of ''[[Deccan Chronicle]]'' wrote "The major problem lies with the story by Anhata Menon, Umesh Padalkar, and Sidharth Sengupta. It’s too weak, oversimplistic, and largely conforms to the stereotypical portrayal of tribals. It paints a world that is black and white. Tribals are shown wearing sac-like clothes, speaking a perfectly and easily comprehensible dialect of Hindi, are expert archers, and are pros in their understanding of medicinal flora and fauna to the extent that they can treat cancer which even modern medicines cannot. It’s too superficial and no effort has been done to even scratch this surface."<ref>{{cite news |last=Andhare |first=Ajit |title=Web Series Review {{!}} 'Aar Ya Paar' spirals into a regular Bollywood revenge drama |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/311222/web-series-review-aar-ya-paar-spirals-into-a-regular-bollywood.html |access-date=30 January 2023 |work=[[Deccan Chronicle]] |date=31 December 2022 |language=en}}</ref>
