Reception

Vinamra Mathur of the Firstpost said in his review that Every feeling may be related to by someone. 'Big Girls Don't Cry' also experiments with a lot. It begins with the fundamentals: arrogance, a pervasive sense of haughtiness in the classroom, and an assumed sense of entitlement and seniority.^[5] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated 2.5/5 stars and stated in her review that The show succeeds in capturing the distinct ambiance of an all-girls boarding school, where the adolescent students are exuberant, flamboyant, full of ideas, full of rebellion, and high on hormones.^[6] Udita Jhunjhunwala writes in Scroll.in that The atmosphere of the boarding school piques your curiosity and sustains it, however briefly. The screenplay hardly skims the surface. It's similar to killing time by skimming through Instagram, stopping at a post for a fleeting glance, and then continuing.^[7] Archika Khurana of The Times of India rated this series 3/5 stars and wrote in her review that, It isn't quite a riveting series, but it is a sentimental walk down memory lane. It's charming performances and relevant themes could make it worthwhile to see once, but ultimately, it doesn't make an impact.^[8] Titas Chowdhury of the

Zinia Bandyopadhyay of India Today stated "The series feels like a classic case of too many cooks spoiling the broth."^[10] Trisha Gaur of Koimoi rated 3 stars out of +5 and said At last, Big Girls Don't Cry declares unequivocally that big girls are free to do whatever the f*ck they want. In one episode, they debate whether the route to success counts as they consider the pros and cons and, in the end, determine what to do in the moment after they prevail.^[11]
