I like the sentiment of the stories, but the whole company seem toxic and poorly executed.

There are so many issues with the Dhar Mann videos. My biggest issue is that when they introduce the moral of the story the protagonist always starts the story with "well you see...". So formulaic and dull.

Specific actors are also consistently typecast in the same roles—such as always playing the bully, the victim, or the overweight student—limiting character development.

The "Secretly Rich": A common trope where the downtrodden, bullied character is revealed to be incredibly wealthy, suggesting moral worth is tied to financial status.

Dhar mann has also been criticized for making clickbait thumbnails and titles.
Thumbnails often feature dramatic or violent imagery (e.g., blood, weapons) that are not actually present in the videos, leading to accusations of dishonesty.

He has also been criticized for having an inability to take criticism.
When criticized, Dhar Mann has made videos framing critics as "bullies" who are attacking his mission to "spread positivity," which many viewers and critics viewed as manipulative.

Another criticism dhar mann has faced is excessive self-promotion of his products and his brand.
Critics frequently point out that Dhar Mann inserts his own products (like his makeup line, LiveGlam) into the videos, and his in-universe self is portrayed as an ideal, almost messianic figure.
