Reception[edit | edit source]
The series received positive reviews. Koimoi rated it 4 out of 5 stars saying, "Vitthal Teedi has all the elements to become a complete package, and the makers have to realise that. You should give it a try because the cast won’t let you get bored for a single moment."[9] Republic rated it 4 out of 5 stars saying, "Vitthal Teedi most definitely delivers what it promises – an ode to the 1980s complete with family drama, social commentary, and the hero – a do-gooder with a darker side that the audience can expect more of in the coming season. This is a diamond in the rough set to win hearts in the coming seasons."[10] Keyur Seta of Cinestaan reviewed it three out of four starts.[11] Vishal Verma of Glamsham also praised performances, production and direction.[12] Subhash K. Jha of SpotboyE also rated it three out of five stars.[13]
