Pyaar Testing

Set in Rajasthan, Pyaar Testing follows Dhruv Pratap Rathore (Satyajeet Dubey), an architect and water conservationist, and Amrita Singh Chauhan (Plabita Borthakur), an animal rights activist and vegan café owner. Their arranged marriage takes an unconventional turn when Amrita suggests a two-month platonic live-in relationship to assess their compatibility before committing to marriage. The decision creates tensions within their traditional Rajput families, leading them to confront societal expectations.{{Cite web |date=2025-02-06 |title=हमेशा खुश रहने और हमेशा संदेह में रहने के बीच की कहानी है Pyaar Testing - mobile |url=https://m.punjabkesari.in/entertainment/news/pyaar-testing-is-the-story-between-always-being-happy-and-always-being-in-doubt-2100925 |access-date=2025-02-13 |website=punjabkesari}}{{Cite web |last=Excelsior |first=Daily |date=2025-02-13 |title=Watch Pyaar Testing On ZEE5, The Perfect Indian Web Series For V-Day |url=https://www.dailyexcelsior.com/watch-pyaar-testing-on-zee5-the-perfect-indian-web-series-for-v-day/ |access-date=2025-02-13 |website=Daily Excelsior |language=en-US}}

Siddartha Toleti of M9 News described the show as offering "Familiar Comfort, but lacking Novelty".{{Cite web |last=Toleti |first=Siddartha |date=2025-02-15 |title=Pyaar Testing Review: Familiar Comfort, No Novelty |url=https://www.m9.news/ott-review/pyaar-testing-review-familiar-comfort-no-novelty/ |access-date=2025-02-15 |website=M9.news |language=en-US}}

Shaheen Irani of OTTPlay gave it 2 out of 5 stars and stated "There's very little that Pyaar Testing has to offer. If you can settle for mediocre acting and a story that had potential but is not tapped into fully, then you can watch this one. Otherwise it is worth a skip rather than stream."{{Cite web |title=Pyaar Testing review: The search for originality in Zee5 series continues |url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/pyaar-testing-review-and-the-search-for-originality-in-satyajeet-dubey-plabita-borthakurs-series-continues/8bd99c4ab5320 |access-date=2025-02-15 |website=OTTPlay |language=en}}
