One fan wrote on X that it’s rare to see an Indian series touch politics, lauding the OTT platform for funding a third season of the show. They wrote, “No one makes series on politics. I guess for obvious reasons. Even so, #Maharani – now in Season 3 – stands out for me as consistently excellent. Good on @SonyLIV to keep this running. (sic)”
Another fan however pointed out that while the series maintained the pacing of the previous season, there was a shift in tone, shifting from focus on politics to revenge. They wrote, “#MaharaniSeason3 Review. It maintains the same feeling & pacing like it’s previous seasons #HumaQureshi as Rani is just (fire emoji). I just (heart emoji) the character of Gauri Babu. Twist & Turns were also Great. Although it felt like they focus more on Revenge driven story with dirty politics. #Maharani. (sic)”
Many also lauded Huma and Amit’s performances in the series. One wrote that ‘this Maharani is here to rule for long,’ writing, “#MaharaniSeason3 Must watch web series. In web if first session Hit then Tuff to create same magic on sesson2 and sesson 3. #maharani3 What a series. More drama more politics and Damdaar acting. #HumaQureshi and #amitsial Steal the show. (sic)”
Another fan wrote, “There are some actors who, with their performance, take the project a notch higher, & that’s what @humasqureshi does in #MaharaniSeason3! Just watch the series for Huma as she once again reminds us what a brilliant performer she is! Rani Bharti ki Jai Ho! #HumaQureshi #Maharani3. (sic)”
One fan pointed out that they loved Amit’s costumes in the series, writing on X, “#MaharaniSeason3 – A delightful watch!!! Simply loved the work of #CostumeDesigner for Naveen Babu & especially Episode 5 which nailed the hammer in the head / the serial. Worth it – Go for it. (sic)”
“Just finished #Maharani Season 3. What a splendid & master class from #HumaQureshi who plays Bihar CM act. Its all about fusion & Jumble of real #BiharPolitics, (sic)” a fan wrote on X, stating that they enjoyed the series overall.
