Abhishek Srivastava of Moneycontrol gave the series 3 out of 5 stars, observing that “Space Gen: Chandrayaan is neither a perfect series nor a poor one. It succeeds in capturing the spirit of the people who made India proud in space exploration.”[10] Divya Nair of Rediff.com, who rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars, remarked that “TVF deserves credit for breaking its mould of picking and sticking to favourable and comfortable genres. Space Gen could serve as a launch pad for more exciting content to come.” [11] Vinamra Mathur of Firstpost echoed a similar sentiment with a 2.5 star rating, stating that “Space Gen: Chandrayaan could be a leap for TVF... They have always shone in telling stories about the ground realities of the nation. With their new show, they aim for the skies.”[12]
Cinema Express reviewer BH Harsh rated the series 2 out of 5 stars, noting that “Except Prakash Belawadi’s sincere performance, there is very little to root for in TVF’s latest series.”[13] Aishwarya Vasudevan of OTTplay, also giving it 2 out of 5 stars, wrote that “Space Gen: Chandrayaan humanises ISRO’s journey but suffers from a rushed, one-dimensional execution. Despite Nakuul Mehta’s strong acting, the series lacks depth and feels largely forgettable.”[14] Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India was particularly critical, observing that “The TVF series dramatising ISRO’s landmark lunar mission is steeped in a lack of curiosity, craft and wonder.”[15]
