The direction by Ashok G is well-appreciated, as he does a great job of capturing the emotional depth of Srikanta's story. The series has a good balance of emotions, drama, and sports, and the director ensures that the narrative flows smoothly.

The series also uses explicit sexuality and physical violence as shorthand for “adult content.” In the novel, desire is often implied and psychological. The web series makes it literal, which changes the tone from literary naturalism to erotic period drama.
