Release

Aranyak was released on Netflix on 10 December 2021.[4]

Reception

Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India reviewed the series, stating: "Raveena & Parambrata's nuanced chemistry powers this whodunit"[5]

Anuj Kumar of The Hindu wrote: "Aranyak season one review: Raveena Tandon aces Netflix whodunit, aided by the fantastic writing"[6]

Shubham Kulkarni of Koimoi gave the series two stars, saying, "Raveena Tandon is back on the screen and still carries the effortless screen presence. But the character given to her suffers a lot of confusion."[7]

Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express stated, "Raveena Tandon is unafraid of appearing uncouth and crude, and is able to toughen up and soften when the occasion demands, even if the unsophisticated accent slips."[8]

Outlook reviewed the series positively, writing, "Netflix's recently released drama thriller has all those typical elements one would find in a drama thriller, yet the writers have left a few loops open, to keep the viewers guessing if a second season might be on the cards as well."[9]

Saraswati Datar of The News Minute called it "an engaging crime thriller".[10]

Praising the performance of the cast, NDTV stated that "Ashutosh Rana, as a former cop determined to prove himself all over again, is splendidly low-key and yet high on impact. Zakir Hussain, Meghna Malik, Indraneil Sengupta and Breshna Khan, too, make noteworthy contributions on the acting front."[11]
