Reception
Calling it an "polished execution", Srivathsan Nadadhur of The Hindu opined that the series had "strong cast", and appreciated cinematography and score.[6] Sasidhar Adivi of Times Now gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and stated, "For those who have watched Panchayat Season 1, Sivarapalli might come across as slightly underwhelming in comparison. However, if one overlooks the slow pace, this village drama offers some delightful moments worth cherishing".[7] Anisha Rao of India Today gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and stated "The performances in Sivarapalli are what makes the show watchable, with Rag Mayur portraying Shyam's frustration and eventual acceptance of his situation."[8] Tanya Garg from Jagaran said "Sivarapalli tells original, humorous tales set in rural India. The series transports you to a busy Telangana village where the intricacies of rural life are unfolded."[9]
Avad Mohammad of OTTplay gave a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and said "The Rag Mayur series is earthy, entertaining and honest."[10]
