Many critics have given itgood ratings. Pratishruti Gan-guly from Firstpost gave it 4stars and wrote, “The series isa slow burn that crackles intolife once the ball is set into mo-tion, but the wheels do startcoming off at the tail end. Par-allel storylines shifting in and

out of the main plot dilute theintrigue and mar the viewingexperience. Take for exampleIyer's orthodoxy. Iyer and hiscronies routinely chair panelsto screen who can and cannotrent an apartment in the com-plex. His narrow-mindednesscould not be less conspicuous,but the makers insist on over-explaining his discriminatorybehaviour every time heopens his mouth.” Also Read -

Sunil Grover’s performancewas lauded by many.“Grover’s character of SonuSingh takes the cake. VikasBahl has made him a perfectmix of quirkiness and inno-cence. He is not your usualneighbour or colleague. If atone moment you doubt his in-tentions, the very next mo-ment you sympathise withhim. It’s a pleasure to seeGrover in a role of some sub-stance,” wrote Arushi Jainfrom.
