Reception
Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave 3.5 stars and observed that " Watch it for a soulful spin on the classic detective genre and Ram Kapoor’s eccentric performance."[8] Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India stated that "The official adaptation of the Emmy-winning ‘Monk’ is incurious and functional."[9] Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that "The nature of the performances and background music suggest the tone is going to be perennially light and lunatic but in good ways. And Kapoor surely has a ball playing Armaan Mistry."[10]
Sushmita Dey of Times Now rated it 3/5 stars and observed that "Is Mistry perfect? No. But is it entertaining? Yes, a bit. It’s not a deep dive into crime or psychology, but it offers a fun, breezy watch led by an actor who clearly enjoys being back in the spotlight."[11] Aishwarya Vasudevan of OTT Play rated it 2/5 stars and said that "Ram Kapoor shines in a refreshing role in Mistry, but the show lacks intrigue. Despite solid performances, predictable plots and shallow mysteries make it a forgettable adaptation of Monk."[12] Anindita Mukherjee of News 18 rated it 3.5/5 stars and commented that "Mistry will give you such opportunities in bounty. All in all, if you have been rooting for a show that will make you laugh, think and bite your nails at the same time, Mistry is worth every ounce of your valuable weekend time."[13]
Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in stated that "Mistry is a pleasant enough time-passer, with a hero who is antsy rather than angsty, troubled rather than traumatised. "[14] Subhash K Jha of News 24 gave 2 stars out of 5 "Director Rishabh Seth allows Ram Kapoor no room to innovate or even move an inch away from the original version. Resultantly the character seems stilted and frozen."[15] Amit Bhatia of ABP News rated it 3/5 stars and said that "Ram Kapoor starrer is a neat (pun intended) little series that won’t revolutionise the genre but offers just enough fun, curiosity, and emotional pull to keep you hooked."[16] Deepa Gahlot of Rediff.com gave it 2.5 stars and noted that "Mistry may work for some, but also raises the question about mental illness being treated as a means of amusement for audiences."[17]
