Critics' Verdict

Critics were mostly negative on The Tashkent Files. Most criticised its weak writing, loud treatment, political bias and poorly supported conspiracy arguments, although Shweta Basu Prasad and some of the supporting cast received praise. The audience response was much stronger than the reviews.
