A fan on X remarked that it’s uncommon for Indian series to explore politics, applauding the OTT platform for backing a third season of the show. They expressed, “Creating a series on politics is rare for obvious reasons. Yet, #Maharani, now in season 3 remains consistently excellent. Kudos to @SonyLIV for keeping this engaging narrative alive.” Another fan observed that while Maharani Season3 maintained the pacing of its predecessors, there was a noticeable shift in tone, transitioning from political focus to a revenge-driven narrative. They shared, “#MaharaniSeason3 Review: Maintaining the vibe and pacing of its previous seasons, #HumaQureshi as Rani is just. The character of Gauri Babu is love. Impressive twists and turns, yet the emphasis felt more on a revenge-driven story entangled with dirty politics. #Maharani.”
