Reception

Anandu Suresh of Indian Express wrote - "This review will be short; probably the shortest I have ever written. Mainly because there’s no way I can write about Secret, renowned screenwriter SN Swamy’s debut directorial venture, for long without it sounding like a rant. Yet, I will give it a go and be as diplomatic as possible"^[5]

The film did very bad in the theatres and the OTT release further led to more negative critics. For S. N. Swamy, Secret has outdone all his poor works till now, with its sloppy writing, abysmal performances, forgettable technical aspects and overall lacklustre nature. ^[6]
