Review
'The solid performances and production values of the series make November Story engaging, despite its predictable arc,' said M. Suganth, editor-in-chief of The Times of India. 'November Story is an excellent entry into the pure-play murder mystery genre, but fails to deliver a satisfying pay-off,' wrote Ranjani Krishnakumar of Firstpost.
'November Story unravels slowly, and its pace is an issue at times,' noted Haricharan Pudipeddi of the Hindustan Times. The gripping screenplay, which beautifully weaves together a web of incidents to create something useful, is what keeps one engaged. 'Until the climax, which is needlessly drawn out, the writing is highly competent and one cannot find fault with.'

'November Story does score high on the engagement factor,' wrote Avinash Ramachandran of The New Indian Express. Except for the final pay-off, which isn't precisely a natural conclusion, the series works well. There is a lot of activity, even if it does not always tally up. The forced comedy, in particular, lacks flavour.' According to Nandini Ramanath of Scroll.in, 'the severely overstretched and needlessly complicated series benefits from rich atmospherics and sharp performances.'

Behind the Scenes
Vikatan Televistas, the television arm of Tamil magazine Ananda Vikatan, revealed a web series for the streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar in November 2019. Indhra Subramanian will helm the film, tentatively titled The November Story, which stars Tamannaah, Pasupathy M., and G. M. Kumar. "The streaming platforms are also the new playground for accomplished actors looking to break ground with more challenging roles outside the two-hour cinematic time-frame," Tamannaah said of her digital debut.
She continued, "I love to get under the skin of the characters I play, and thus the longer web series format is the perfect medium to showcase my skills as it is almost like doing five films at once." There is a lot of detail, and the figure can be explored in depth." The title of the series, November Story, was revealed by Disney+ Hotstar in October 2020.
The series started filming in early November 2019 and the first schedule was completed by the end of the month. The crew was able to film the majority of the series by March 2020, before the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown, though production and post-production were hampered by COVID-19 restrictions. The final scenes were shot after the lockdown and were finished in January 2021.
