“Mandala Murders is the kind of Hindi fiction that wouldn’t exist if not for streaming platforms. It isn’t short of ambition or scale; it’s original; it’s conceived with the rules, reach, world-building and timelines of a fantasy novel.”
Rahul Desai, Hollywood Reporter – India
“To interest the audience in an occult thriller, the ensuing mumbo jumbo and its elaborate designs must suck its beholders into its specious air of intrigue and eerie. But the pillar-to-post energy of Mandala Murders translates to eight nonsensical episodes of crackpot mythology and jumbled plotting.”

Sukanya Verma, Rediff
“Buying into mandalas and occult and ‘dayans’ is hard enough. It is harder still if the plot points are left loose. If there is another season of this Vaani Kapoor-Surveen Chawla show, maybe keep it shorter, and crisper?”
