Ganesh Kaarthic wrote the script and approached Krishna in 2019 to produce the series. Ganesh Kaarthic and Krishna refined the script for over a year and a half before partnering with Disney+ Hotstar as the presenter.[4] Krishna brought in director Thiru, who initially had reservations about the longer runtime but was convinced by the narration and ultimately directed the series.[5] The team cast Anjali as the lead, seeking an actress who could perform action sequences. The series was filmed in Hyderabad, Munnar, and Goa[4] over a period of one hundred and ten days. The budget for the first episode was one crore rupees.[5] The action sequences were choreographed by Yannick Ben.[6] The cinematography was by Arvind Kumar while the editing was handled by Lewellyn Gonsalvez.[7][8]
Srivathsan Nadadhur of OTTplay rated one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Jhansi is a poorly made web show - there are no two things about it. Anjali and Mumaith Khan deliver the goods while better writing and filmmaking could’ve salvaged it to an extent."[9] Bhawana Tanmayi of The South First gave it three out of five stars and wrote, "The show has a solid story but the director fails to establish enough gripping scenes. The screenplay is bad."[10]
Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "the season with impressive performances and decent production values leaves the viewer high and dry with too many unanswered questions."[11] A critic from 123telugu rated two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Jhansi has an exhilarating premise that is brought down by many flaws in the screenplay. Anjali gives her best in all possible ways, but the narration issues make this action thriller a strictly okay watch this weekend."[12]
Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Season 2 of Jhansi answers the unanswered questions from season 1. While Anjali as Jhansi remains the focal point and delivers, the season needed better writing and screenplay."[13] Latha Srinivasan of India Today rated one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Jhansi Season 2 is below average but those who are fans of women-centric series could attempt to watch it."[14]
