Years ago, Buddha (then Arjun) was a street musician. A little girl’s voice saved him from suicide. He never saw her face – only heard her sing an old lullaby.
That same lullaby… Ruhi just hummed it. Buddha Pyaar Episode 1 -- HiWEBxSERIES.com
Director Rajiv Sen utilizes a unique color palette. Scenes inside the monastery are bathed in warm, golden light, symbolizing spiritual heat. Scenes in the city are cold, blue, and metallic. This visual dichotomy is stunning and immediately immerses you in the protagonist's internal war.
Series like "Buddha Pyaar" are generally praised for bringing much-needed representation to older demographics in Indian media. Episode 1 is usually commended if it avoids making the characters caricatures. If the episode treats their feelings with dignity and seriousness rather than as a comedy sketch, it generally garners a positive response from critics and audiences looking for "hatke" (different) content.
If Episode 1 is the cause, Episode 2 promises to be the effect. The trailer (also available on HiWEBxSERIES.com) suggests that Aarav will stay in the city to help Maya recover a stolen painting. In doing so, he will face temptations he thought he had conquered years ago. Will he break his Brahmacharya (vow of celibacy) for Maya? Or will he pull her onto the path of Dharma?

Buddha (voiceover, as he looks at Mara’s note):
“They say the Buddha walked right after enlightenment. He didn’t float. He walked. Feet on the ground. Thorns, stones, mud. That’s the part they leave out of the Jataka tales.
