While it received praise for its "impressive conception" and story development, it also received criticism for Tripathi's usage of non-literary language.

The Secret of the Nagas was in high demand before its release, with 80,000 copies pre-ordered. Two theatrical trailers were created for showing in multiplex cinema halls, as Tripathi believed that the film-going audience also reads his books, and that would create publicity.
