Reception[edit]
Kasauti Zindagi Ki Serial Gossip
Critical response[edit]
Shweta Kesari from India Today said, 'Parth Samthaan and Erica Fernandes beautifully fit into the shoes of punctual Anurag and carefree Prerna. The grandeur and magnificence of the show will make your jaw drop. The makers have tried to retain the essence of Kolkata and Bengalis. Overall the show is a complete package of entertainment for soap viewers!'[6]
Soumya Srivastava from Hindustan Times described the show as 'louder and garnish' and wrote that, 'The background score is excessive. It plays without reason and way too often. Whether the scene demands it or not, a joyful, somber or a comical tone is always there to force your brain into thinking that this is how you are supposed to feel right now.[7] Veer zaara full movies.
Times Now commented that, 'The reboot takes you in the lives of Anurag and Prerna that were part of our every day lives and the first episode is all about nostalgia of the epic Kasautii Zindagii Kay.' [8]
