Reception

[edit]

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave four stars out of five and said Killer Soup is a cleverly written crime and investigative comedy that is characterised by astute writing and flawless performance. It is witty, cunning, and incredibly amusing.[9] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India also gave 4 stars out 5 and write in review that You will remain captivated throughout Killer Soup, a darkly humorous thriller with subtleties and complexities. Abhishek Chaubey's recipe is so amazing that you will devour it in one sitting.[10] Lachmi Deb Roy writes in Firstpost Deliciously Dark comedy at its best. Intriguing and humorous with just the proper amount of heat, Konkona Sen Sharma & Manoj Bajpayee's Killer Soup is just what audiences would desire during the chilly month of January.[11] Zinia Bandyopadhyay writes in her review in India Today The performers do their roles almost well. As a policeman, Nasser stood out. The show's exquisite cinematography is one item that merits discussion. The tale is given so much depth by the close-up views.[12]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 2 stars out of 5 and said in her review that A black "comedy" is supposed to be humorous and make you laugh despite yourself, yet I was waiting for the jokes to start here. And I kept looking forward to shockers.[13] Sukanya Verma of rediff.com also gave 2 stars and criticize it and said When Killer Soup's clever and bizarre graphics lose their impact, the difficulty of maintaining the flow is evident as the stories get overly complicated.[14]
