Reception

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV, rating it 2.5 out of 5 stars writes that "Bhaag Beanie Bhaag is Swara's show all the way. She does justice to the it. The series, too thin at its core, does not complement her game effort. All the huffing and puffing the show has to do in order to keep up runs it ragged."[6] Divyanshi Sharma of India Today wrote, "It is not a laugh riot, but it sure is a breath of fresh air which will also tickle your funny bone at times... Due to its plot, comparisons with Amazon Prime Video's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel are inevitable. But once you become a part of Beanie’s world, all the comparisons take a backseat."[7]
