Reception

"Choona" received mixed responses from the critics. Pratikshya Mishra from The Quint wrote in her review that "The underlying quirkiness of Choona occasionally detracts from the lengthy explication. I was unsure if the constant introduction of new characters would become old, but amazingly, it doesn't. In the great scheme of things, every narrative unfolds like a distinct set piece and is presented effectively. Choona is a programme whose setting is far more attractive than its finale".[10]

Rahul Desai of Film Companion opined, "Choona takes the intriguing premise of a two-hour heist comedy and stretches it into an eight-episode drama on Netflix. This ambitious format shift offers both opportunities and challenges for storytelling".[11]
