Reception

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV praised the acting performance, screenplay and direction of the show and gave 3.5 stars out of 5. He said: "The series pierces through the haze and darkness that surround a bereaved family as well as the two cops who are charged with getting to the bottom of the truth."[13]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote in her review "In Sudip Sharma's dramatic, masterfully executed drama "Kohrra," which is both a murder mystery and a sharp examination of contemporary Punjab and the Punjabi psyche, location and history play significant roles".[14]

Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that "The show provides a clear and conclusive end, leaving the audience satisfied. "[15]

Shilajit Mitra of The Hindu wrote in his review, "Like Memories of Murder (2003), Kohrra opens on a vast, verdant field. A body is discovered by the wayside. We get an exchange between a stunned young boy and a small-town cop. "[16]

Devansh Sharma of Hindustan Times added, "This Netflix slow-burn has a good deal of surprises to offer if you can see past the kohrra of its fast-paced trailer and Sudip Sharma's prior work."[17]
