BollyMeter6.7/10Season 3 reviews cited Qureshi being sidelined in her own show - the 'dark and dirty political chess game' narrative left Rani as a guest player rather than the protagonist. Critics called it well-made but structurally misaligned with what the franchise promised.

What BollyAI Thinks
Season 3 made a structural choice that critics found frustrating: the show's titular character was narratively marginalised in favour of a broader political conspiracy. Individual episode ratings (8.3-8.5 on IMDb for the later episodes) suggest the season's back half is stronger, but the first half's sidelining of Qureshi was a genuine miscalculation.

The Room
“Queen Huma Qureshi becomes a guest player in her own show - the chess game is dark and dirty but she deserves more of the board.”

Season Over Season
The protagonist steps back; the ensemble takes over - a tradeoff most audiences didn't want.
