X users hail Pritam and Pedro
One user praised the series for its light-hearted comedy and the cast’s performances, writing, “I just finished watching Pritam and Pedro, and it was actually really good series of 6 episodes, each episode is around 30 mint . It blends light-hearted comedy with crime thriller elements perfectly. The storyline is gripping, and I didn’t feel bored even for a moment. Arshad Warsi and Vir Hirani both delivered fantastic performances. Vir Hirani, in particular, has a lot of potential and can definitely outshine many nepotism-backed actors in the future.
