Reception

Critical response

Urmila Banerjee of Bollywood Life stated, "Ekta Kapoor introduces Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes as the iconic Anurag Basu and Prerna Sharma with Sanjay Leela Bhanshali's grandeur and epic background score. Kasautii Zindagii Kay is technically a very good product from Balaji Telefilms. In fact, it is one of their finest so far."[11]

Shweta Kesari from India Today said, "Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes beautifully fit into the shoes of punctual Anurag and carefree Prerna. The grandeur and magnificence of the show will make your a jaw drop. The makers have tried to retain the essence of Kolkata and Bengalis. Overall the show is a complete package of entertainment for soap viewers!"[12]

Soumya Srivastava from Hindustan Times described the show as "louder and garnish" and wrote that, "The background score is excessive. It plays without reason and way too often. Whether the scene demands it or not, a joyful, somber or a comical tone is always there to force your brain into thinking that this is how you are supposed to feel right now.[13]

Times Now commented that, "The reboot takes you in the lives of Anurag and Prerna that were part of our every day lives and the first episode is all about nostalgia of the epic Kasautii Zindagii Kay." [14]

Priyanka Bansal from The Quint wrote "The chemistry between Parth and Erica seems to be lacking. The coming episodes will be a testament if these two can come anywhere close to the benchmark scintillating chemistry Khan and Tiwari shared on screen."[15]

Ratings

In its debut week, the series opened with 5589 million impressions in urban areas thereby being 10th most-watched show during the week.[16][17][18][19]

In UK in its second week, the series was the top most watched show on Thursday with 101100 views.[20]
