The series received mixed reviews
Joginder Tuteja of Koimoi, a Bollywood entertainment website, rated the series at a 3/5, saying "Overall though, even if Shrikant Bashir may not go down as totally unique, what works in its favor is the fact that it is fast paced and ensures that audiences are hooked on to the proceedings. Notwithstanding the stock background score pieces that keep repeating themselves time and again, one can give this one as a comfortable watch with the entire family."[3]
A reviewer for Mashable wrote "Gashmeer Mahajani and Yudhishtir Singh are on two ends of the acting spectrum in Shrikant Bashir and everyone else kind of falls somewhere in between."[4]
