The official trailer for Decoupled has garnered more than 2.8 million views on YouTube. Fans were happy to see the two actors pair up for the first time. "So happy to see two underrated and very talented actors coming together after so long", wrote one of the users.

R Madhavan and Surveen Chawla posted the trailer on their social media platform as well and Madhavan captioned it-"Hope you like listening to a separating couple talk about marriage👀👂🏼
Because @surveenchawla and I have a lot to say."

A video clip from the series went viral on social media in which Madhavan's character entered a prayer room at the airport and started doing stretching exercise while there was a man offering namaz in the room. On being asked not do exercise in the prayer room by the man and the airport authority, the male lead starts reciting Gayatri Mantra while stretching to annoy everyone.

The scene has been termed problematic by the social media users. It added to the on-going debate on offerings of namaz in public places. The show also drew flak from audience for its "failed satire" as it seemed that the show ended up promoting misogyny in the name of mocking the institution of marriage.
