This is what social media has to say
"#NimishaSajayan getting rave reviews for her brilliant performance as Mala Jogi the forest ranger officer in #Poacher." wrote a user. "Meticulously crafted, Raw & Authentic," another user commented. "Despite its rough edges, Richie Mehta's new Amazon series #Poacher is in many ways filmmaking at its purest - a storyteller using fiction and a narrative to make us feel for a thing as much as he does," read a comment.
"Poacher 6th episode of jungle is so hard hitting Best content released this week pls give it a watch," a comment read. "no rubbish jokes about the north-south divide, a formidable cast, and the thing that really makes it all sing—the animals in nearly every scene to highlight it's really us in their habitat," another comment read.
Alia on backing Poacher
Alia Bhatt had said that she connected to the show on a personal level and thought of backing it up. "At the end of the day, you want people to see the story, and what's most important is whether you can contribute to it in any way. [Executive producing] is backing and putting your voice, time and energy in content that you believe in. Here, because I wasn't part of it since its inception, [I focused on] what I can do to amplify the show's reach," she said.
