Reception
editCritical reviews
editThe show has received mixed reviews.
A reviewer for Film Companion criticized the show for being "Too Silly For The Serious Topic It Wants To Discuss". She added "For the show to work, it either needs much sharper writing or a full-blown commitment to silliness without the baggage of an ‘issue’ to discuss."
Tatsam Mukherjee of Firstpost said "The first episode of Uncommon Sense with Saloni is well... adequate, also served with a segment featuring Nazma Aapi, Gaur's most popular avatar. In a time, when there are no such shows (barring Kamra's) maybe we should be thankful for this one. It might improve in the episodes to come."[3]
The show received a rating of 6.6/10 on Digit (magazine).[6]
Controversy
editBollywood actress Kangana Ranaut lashed out at Saloni for mimicking her.[7]
