Reception
Undekhi received mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences. Rajkumar Rao appreciated the show on twitter on the date of the release on his twitter page.[6]Pramit Chatterjee of Mashable said it an Impressive show quoting "Undekhi is made of stories and people that we’ve met whose actions make them live in our minds rent-free. It’s what builds the sentiment that we as a nation are truly not free. Yes, the British have left us. But what about our privilege, classism, racism, communal divisions, power dynamics, corruption, etc? Did they take it with them? No. It still exists."[7]Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India said it "An Engrossing and Gritty Crime Drama" giving it 3.5 stars out of 5.[8] Avinash Ramachandran of Indian Express praised the performances of the actors saying "Competent performances power this thriller".[9]
Controversies
As a part of the promotional activity, citizens received 'fake murder calls' from the network. The call has a man's trembling voice saying that he has witnessed a murder and that he is about to get murdered too. At the end of the call, it is revealed that this is a promotional call for the web show. [10]The ploy, however, seems to have backfired for SonyLIV, the channel streaming the show, because many people started taking the call seriously, and took to Twitter to express shock.[11]Finally, Sony LIV tweeted that it was a promotional activity. “If you have received a call for our show...and it has disturbed you, we would like to sincerely apologize to you. This was a test activity which has gone out accidentally,” it said.[12][13]
