A well-acted, atmospheric whodunit that grips in parts but leaves you wanting more.

Search is a show that does not waste time, neither in exposition nor in stretching the plot. It dives right into the murder and the investigation, while also giving some scope to set up the characters’ backstories. It peels off layer after layer from the mystery like any good whodunnit should. The start is good.
Rating: 2.5/5 · Indian Express ·

It’s always a pleasure watching the excellent Konkona Sen Sharma fronting a show like this, even if the trouble with not knowing whodunit is not being able to form a complete impression. Will the cliffhanger interval survive intervening time? We’ll have to see

Its casting and direction fit the Search: The Naina Murder Case JioHotstar series just fine. The tone is balanced constantly, but you also absorb the gravity of the investigation. The ethical dilemma presented to the police, the news media attention, and the sentimental aspects of the case all balance one another.
