Shriya Saran said, "What I liked the most about Masha and the Bear is that the characters are very relatable. It was lovely to see these larger-than-life characters walk to you, the full story had a beautiful message about friendship and love that is really special. My husband is Russian and he is very proud of Masha and the Bear. I try to bring my daughter away from screen time but bring her more to shows and so it's a great way of her understanding the characters watching them perform in front of you. It's also very special because it is Radha's first theater show, I was very nervous. I thought she would be fidgety and she would run because this is the first time, she is sitting in the theater for so long but she was amazing. She sat through it. She loved it, she laughed, she clapped and she danced. So, this will be a special memory."
Neha Dhupia said, "We just finished watching Masha and the Bear LIVE. It was great. The fact that they have my kids' attention for one and half hours, what else could a mom want. Very entertaining, very well done, very well performed and life lessons and friendship so this one is a keeper."
