“Watched #Salakaar Honestly. It's good. Acting of every actor is commendable. Story is above average. It's fiction. But, good. Arc comes to an end in the end. Satisfying to say the least. What's bad are the inconsistencies. Too many plot holes. Could have been better.”

“Needed more substance. Doesn't feel real at points. I think they made #Salakaar a movie. After making they realized ki it is not gonna work so made it into series. The Ending is a mix of "ARGO + BABY + BELL BOTTOM" ONE LINE : GOOD, but Could have been better. ENJOYED THOUGH.”

“In a show like this, even the performances have no time to perform as the entire scheme is busy finding ways to ridicule Pakistan. So, an otherwise sincere Naveen doesn’t ignite any spark," writes @shreyastify in his review of the #Salakaar series”
