Reception
Critical reviews
Season 1
Anusha Iyengar of Bollywoodlife.com[12] stated that Ekta Kapoor's version of Devdas is something you'd binge-watch over the weekend. Acting of Asheema does a great job by getting a role of an aggressive feminist and a modern girl who does as she wishes. While Akhil Kapur struggles with expressions which gets cover up by Asheema. Overall, it is recommended to all the youngster and parents to watch this web series so that they can understand the trend and their kids better.
Anvita Singh of India Today[13] stated that Bra, booze, and expletives: Dev DD's heroine tries hard to be a rebel with a cause, but fails. They tried to hard, but failed at the end. The writers at some point made a stamp with 2-3 good instances. Overall show is watchable as an optional if you have time.
Season 2
Binged[14] have given 5/10 stars to the second series, stating that a shorter, crisper screenplay would have made an engaging show. The acting performance of some of the cast was good and watching fun was little undercurrent which was the highlights of the show. The title music is cheery and bracing. Shreya Gupta, director of photography, has done nice work by grabbing the views and sounds of Jaipur city. On the drawbacks side, the series was too long and stretched. And overall, it is one time watchable.
