Reception

Vivek Santhosh from The New Indian Express rated this film two out of five stars and said "Adding to its woes, Secret Home’s screenplay felt like it was written backwards after finalising on its derivative plot twist. Even the technical aspects don’t come together to help mask the flaws of a film that is confused on what it ultimately wants to convey". [3]

Times Now rated this film 3+1⁄2 stars out of 5 stars and said "Ajay David Kachappilly's visuals are striking and add to the intensity of the plot while Sankar Sharma's music enhances the mood. Director Abhayakumar K delivers a crime thriller that is reasonably well made". [4] Gayathri Krishna from OTTplay rated this film three out of five stars and said "Overall, Secret Home has every component needed to be a strong thriller drama, but it does not quite manage to leave the audience with a lasting impression. Still, some of the performances in this movie really shine". [5]
