== Reception ==
''The series received mixed reviews from critics.''

Abhishek Srivastava of [[The Times of India|Times of India]] rated 2.5/5, noting "‘Griha Laxmi’ is a missed opportunity, hindered by its lack of realism and depth. The transition of Laxmi from a maid to a drug seller feels poorly developed and overly convenient, leaving little room for genuine investment in her journey. The series struggles to make its events believable, which diminishes the impact of what could have been a compelling narrative."<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/griha-laxmi/season-1/seasonreview/117236072.cms |title=Griha Laxmi Season 1 Review: With its improbable events, this series fails to deliver a convincing plot |last=Srivastava |first=Abhishek |last2= |last3= |last4= |last5= |first5= |access-date=2025-08-06 |via=timesofindia.indiatimes.com}}</ref> Shatakshi Ganguly of IWM Buzz stated "With its nuanced characters and tenacious narrative, Griha Laxmi is a standout crime thriller.

Amit Bhatia of [[ABP News|APB LIVE]] rated 3/5 and noted "Rumaan Kidwai's direction is good, he has extracted good work from the actors. He has done a good job in a low budget. He further said, Overall, watch this series once for Hina Khan."<ref>{{Cite web |last=भाटिया |first=अमित |date=2025-01-20 |title=गृह लक्ष्मी रिव्यू: नौकरानी से ड्रग्स की दुनिया की रानी बनी हिना खान, ये सीरीज देखनी बनती है |url=https://www.abplive.com/movie-review/entertainment/movie-review-griha-lakshmi-review-hina-khan-web-series-on-epic-platform-read-review-in-hindi-2866599 |access-date=2025-08-06 |website=ABP News |language=hi}}</ref>
