Reception
editDeccan Chronicle wrote about the series in their newspaper, "All three couples have sufficient meat in the plot to chew on, and they make the best of it. The series maintains an emotional equilibrium, never going overboard in its quest of eyeballs. Three pairs of actors take care of the rest."[11]
The Free Press Journal rated it 3 out of 5 and published a review saying, "The series treads an explorative path allowing the couples to exploit their hidden desires, stretching them to the extreme ends of their endurance before bringing them back from the brink. These are trends of love that are believable and immediately relatable. This series is sure to keep you interested and is the most appropriate Valentine's Day watch."[12]
