Reception

The show has an critics' approval rating of 88% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.[6] Bhavna Agarwal from Bollywood Bubble gave the web-series a rating of 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Mohit Raina, Konkona Sen Sharma starrer is an uplifting re-telling of the frightening terror attack. Mumbai Diaries 26/11 is undeniably a medical drama you won't regret seeing. It is attention-grabbing and impactful."[7] Overall the show has received generally positive reviews.[8][9][10]

Ronak Kotecha from The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars and noted "All in all, it's a hard-hitting show alright, made with a lot of blood and sweat too, which shows onscreen, but in a bid to pack in too much action and drama, Mumbai Diaries ends up becoming a never-ending saga of insipid characters rather than a taut thriller of a life-altering real event."[11]

Anuj Kumar of The Hindu said "Overall, Mumbai Diaries 26/11 reads like a diary of a person who knows how to smartly conceal his real emotions."[12]

Saibal Chatterjee from NDTV gave season 1, a rating of three and a half stars out of five and wrote "Mumbai Diaries 26/11 is undoubtedly top-notch in terms of both its craft and its creative choices."[13]

Praising the performance of cast, The Indian Express reviewer stated "Mumbai Diaries 26/11 works best when, in between all the craziness, some of the characters stop to take a breath, and exchange glances or words. It makes you believe that there is still some goodness in the world."[14]
