Reception

The series mostly got negative to mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Aysha Zaheen from The Daily Star criticized the dialogues and the direction and said, ""Boli" was merely an attempt at producing a good crime thriller, falling short in many places. Often stretched out with lengthy shots, unnecessary dialogues, and unreasonable plotlines, the series fails to get its point across throughout the span of seven inconsistent episodes".[8] Leisure Byte reviewer Archi Sengupta gave the series 2 out of 5 and said, "It's entertaining but loses all of its steam quickly, becoming a mess of a show without much rhyme or reason. Also, just so much dialogue, just so much unnecessary dialogue!"[9]
