== Reception ==<br />
Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of ''[[The Hindu]]'' in her review stated that "The payoffs in the form of twists and turns happen rather late and are not enough. Perhaps it was alluring to have nine episodes to befit the title, but the series could have done with liberal trimming".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dundoo |first=Sangeetha Devi |date=2022-06-04 |title='9 Hours' web series review: This overdrawn Telugu crime drama intrigues partly |language=en-IN |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/9-hours-web-series-review-an-overdrawn-crime-drama-that-intrigues-partly/article65493814.ece |access-date=2022-06-14 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Echoing the same, ''[[Pinkvilla]]''<nowiki/>'s Arvind V opined that "The survival drama trappings deserved a better canvas, and a profound script. Torture and beatings are no substitute for thrills and drama".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-03 |title=9 Hours Review: This bank robbery series has both hits and misses |url=https://www.pinkvilla.com/entertainment/south/9-hours-review-bank-robbery-series-has-both-hits-and-misses-1135859 |access-date=2022-06-14 |website=[[Pinkvilla]] |language=en}}</ref><br />

Comparing it with ''[[Money Heist]]'', Latha Srinivasan of ''[[Firstpost]]'' praised the performances of the ensemble cast while criticizing the screenplay and writing.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-02 |title=9 Hours review |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/9-hours-review-krish-jagarlamudis-crime-thriller-is-killed-by-cliche-dialogues-and-overdramatic-scenes-10750421.html |access-date=2022-06-14 |website=[[Firstpost]] |language=en}}</ref> Giving a mixed review, Neeshita Nyayapati of ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote that "You don't always buy what ''9 Hours'' is selling you, there are moments you will pause and wonder how plausible whatever is playing out on screen is. But the series does manage to do its job by keeping you engaged".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nyayapati |first=Neeshitha |date=2022-06-02 |title=9 HOURS SEASON 1 REVIEW : GOOD STORY AIDED BY A STELLAR CAST |work=[[The Times of India]] |publication-date=2022-06-02 |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/telugu/9-hours/season-1/seasonreview/91936388.cms |access-date=}}</ref><br />
