Margaret Lyons New York Times 03/11/2025
It incorporates sudsy twists, vicious domestic subplots, corporate malfeasance and social critiques, and its foot stays on the gas. Go to Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 02/28/2025
2.5/5
Not everything lands, but it looks like this dabba cartel is just getting started. Clearly, there’s more to come. Go to Full Review Srijoni Rudra Digital Mafia Talkies Jul 26
The show features a group of talented actors, but the execution is messy; the need to be an advocate for every cause one can think of is a major drawback, and the rapid development in the narrative is jarring and unconvincing. Go to Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com 03/04/2025
3/5
Using everyday domestic imagery to camouflage an illegal enterprise is their masterstroke move but more than the trick, its the compulsions and challenges driving each of these five women gives Dabba Cartel its spunk. Go to Full Review Abhimanyu Mathur Hindustan Times 03/03/2025
[Dabba Cartel] tries to enter a space that very few Indian titles have but relies more on star power and panache than actual substance. And that ends up being its undoing. Go to Full Review Kshitij Rawat Lifestyle Asia (India) 03/01/2025
Packed with sharp writing and powerhouse performances, Dabba Cartel is equal parts gripping and absurd. Watch it for the drama, stay for the sheer audacity. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sharang L @Scribe187 May 3 A rousing finale notwithstanding, this remains a superficial, unconvincing story. See more D C @RT66979156 Apr 30 Absolute a must watch web series. i enjoyed the Drama, the setup, Shabana Azmi truly rocks with a comeback, totally different. It incorporates suspense twists, domestic subplots, and its foot stays on with new gripping scene. Jyothika & Nimisha both brings 2 different sides in comparision to rich and poor and then follows a team work friendship. both showed an incredible acting skills, just amazing. Gajraj rao - a masterpiece. See more Imaad A @RT77446116 Apr 13 Very nice and interesting See more Anand K @RT57505169 03/29/2025 A fairly interesting if convoluted series. What would have given this a higher rating is better acting across the board. Too many of the cast over act especially some of the evil ones such as Chavan. A couple of ludicrous scenes however. That supposed torture involving “ driving lessons” being a case in point. See more Gnana T @RT17828188 03/22/2025 Overacting jyothika's character is irritating See more S M @RT43334155 03/21/2025 Wait for season 2. The series ends in a limbo, making you angry and frustrated. Good show except it is incomplete See more Read all reviews
