Reception

Mimansa Shekhar from The Indian Express stated "Jeet Ki Zid plays well in silences or without many dialogues in the most tense situations."[5] Udita Jhunjhunwala from Scroll.in wrote "A heartening story of persistence and fortitude, Jeet Ki Zid is as much a tribute to that invisible army."[6] Archika Khurana from Times Of India gave the series 3.5 stars out of 5 and reviewed the series as an inspiring tale of self-belief and determination.[7]
