Reception

Pallavi Pahwa from Firstpost stated "State of Siege: 26/11 is the first such series that looks at the 26/11 attacks from the NSG Commandos perspective and how they managed to neutralize the terrorists and their plans." Jyoti Kanyal from India Today briefly stated "State of Siege 26/11 will remind you of all the documentaries, films and shows based on the Mumbai terror attacks, but what is unique about this show is that it narrates the story from the perspective of the NSG."

Arushi Jain from The Indian Express summarizes her take stating "State of Siege 26/11 gives you a stirring visual account of the 2008 Mumbai attacks and compels you to keep watching." Udita Jhunjhunwala from Scroll.in wrote "State of Siege is less about the victims and their trauma and more about the men with the guns and power."
