The series received acclaim due to its execution and script. In a review for
Dawn, the reviewer praised its unbiased approach comparing it with Hussain's previous historical-period drama stating, "Like
Haissam Hussain’s previous work
Dastan, which centred on
Partition,
Jo Bichar Gaye does not indulge in triumphalist patriotism or demonisation." A review for
The Express Tribune noted Wahaj Ali's performance as Rumi. Noor-Ul-Huda of
The News International found it as a "well-executed drama" with a "nuanced storyline" and commended the casting, direction, and subject matter, its attention to detail in cinematography, costuming, and visual effects. In a review published by
The Daily Star, the reviewer panned the series for its distorted portrayal of the 1971 Liberation War, showing protesting Dhaka University students as "uncouth bullies" and Pakistani army men as "righteous gentlemen", and noted the inaccurate depiction of historical events and its use of derogatory language towards Bengalis. Historian
Anam Zakaria, writing for
Dawn, argued that it distorts historical events, humanises Pakistani soldiers while depicting Bengalis as villains, and reinforces a narrative that absolves Pakistan of responsibility for the war. ==Awards==
