Deepa Alexander of The Hindu gave Avrodh a positive review, saying that there are ample reasons to watch the web-series.[3] Arushi Jain, writing for the Indian Express, described it as "a retelling, sans any jingoistic and provocative dialogues or scenes", of how the Uri attack was avenged, which makes it "an interesting watch" unspoiled by patriotic excesses.[11] India Today's review calls Avrodh "a well-rounded series", with both the "guns and the glory" as well as the "facts".[4] Without being "hyper-nationalistic", Avrodh manages to showcase the complexities that went into the planning of the strike, including how terrorist groups function, the backing from ISI, international pressure and a plethora of other aspects.[4] Sreeparna Sengupta wrote in her Times of India review that "the planning, execution and training for the mission are shown with meticulous detailing". Sengupta also wrote that the cast pulls of a strong performance and while the narrative is predictable, "there are enough twists and turns in Avrodh that make it a gripping watch".[12] Shreya Paul in the Firstpost wrote that Avrodh is a retelling of India's retaliation to the Uri attack, without "unnecessary excesses".[6] Nandini Ramnath wrote in Scroll.in that "the script is straight out of a government dossier".[2] AdGully wrote that Avrodh "is this story behind how India shrugged off its indecisiveness".[7] Film Companion wrote that life in Kashmir is depicted well, however the show "feels like propaganda", "confuses love for India with indifference for human life" and questioned what the show would mean for Kashmiris without 4G internet.[13] Koimoi felt that more could have been done with Avrodh, and as far as it being propaganda or not, "decide for yourself".[14] Thandora Times said the series is a must watch,[15] whereas a Mashable review called Avrodh a "piece of crap" and an "abysmally bad piece of propaganda".[16][17]
