News18: "Murder in Mahim delves deeply into the complex and often strained father-son relationships, exploring them with maturity and insight. The series artfully navigates contentious debates between Peter and Sunil as they spar over the moral dimensions of sex work and same-sex relationships. Similarly, Jende’s volatile interactions with Dhullar are portrayed with nuance, each confrontation logically unfolding to enhance the depth and development of their characters throughout the narrative."
The Indian Express: "The most impactful part of the series, written by Mustafa Neemuchwala and Udai Singh Pawar, and directed by Rajesh Acharya, is the portrayal of men who like other men, and who have to resort to drastic measures to manage crucial intimacy. Rajesh Khattar, playing an ageing roué, comes off exaggerated but alive to the challenges of finding lasting love."

Scroll.in: "Murder in Mahim is an absorbing, although overstretched, police procedural that has greater success as an exploration of a reality as unjust as wrongful death. Older than the victim but not necessarily wiser, Shiva and Peter are compelled to re-examine their negative attitudes towards the LGBTQ community, update their outdated (and pejorative) vocabulary, and keep their judgement in check."
Money Control: "Murder in Mahim is no Delhi Crime. It has its intentions at the right place but lacks the resolve in other shows in the similar genre. But if you are keen on a crime drama with plenty twists and turns, this might just be the pick for you."
