== Reception ==
Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of ''[[The Hindu]]'' opined that the series "could have been a lot more fun" further writing "''Maa Neella Tank'' is an eight-episode series that feels at least two or three episodes longer. When things take a turn in the last two episodes and the story heads to its logical conclusion, it is too little and too late to sustain interest."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dundoo |first=Sangeetha Devi |date=2022-07-16 |title='Maa Neella Tank' series review |language=en-IN |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/maa-neella-tank-series-review-a-countryside-story-that-could-have-been-a-lot-more-fun/article65646784.ece |access-date=2022-07-19 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and stated that "While the series had all the ingredients of a potential satirical comedy, too many episodes, recurring themes, and lack of action in some episodes make it a missed opportunity – it needed a more precise and engaging script".<ref>{{Citation |title=Maa Neella Tank season 1 Review |date=2022-07-19 |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/telugu/maa-neella-tank/season-1/seasonreview/92903772.cms |work=[[The Times of India]] |language=en |access-date=2022-07-19}}</ref>
