Reception

[edit]

Subhash K. Jha for Times Now reviewed the series and opined "There is plenty of such sloppiness to be seen in P I Meena."[9]

Critic Deepa Gahlot reviewing the series for Rediff.com rated 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Too many well-known names in the cast with too little to do and some characters dispatched just when they were making sense."[10]

A critic from Firstpost stated "Even detectives and investigators can break into a smile, at least when they know they are taking the right direction to solve the mystery."[11]

Prateek Sur of Outlook stated "If you’re looking for a great detective story, ‘P.I. Meena’ isn’t the answer."[12]

Scroll.in stated "Rogue science combines with poor plotting to ensure that the question doesn’t get a befitting answer."[13]

The Daily Guardian stated "Sourabh Prabhudesai’s editing is not great – this eight-episode series (40 minutes each) could have been effectively trimmed down to six cutting out a lot of unnecessary distractions in the show."[14]
