Reception[edit]

The movie opened to generally positive and mostly acclaim reviews from critics and audiences like. The IMDb gave a rating of 9.1 on 10 for the movie. Most of the audiences like the performance of the characters.[12]

The Times of India rated 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, "The movie is a must watch entertainer that the whole family can laugh and cry happy tears all through together".[13] The Free Press Journal said that thoughtfully written and directed by Rojin Thomas, Home is a film representing the present times when emotions get only expressed on digital mediums, forgetting or avoiding personal contacts.[14] Hindustan Times commented that sometimes too sweets but most times heartwarming, Rojin Thomas brings to life a lovely family drama that is driven by Indrans' effortless performance.[15] Firstpost rated 3 on 5 for the movie and wrote, "Parts of #Home feel stretched, and the film could have done with some scissoring, but when it works, it works so well that this complaint recedes into the background in the face of its overall endearing nature and loveable simplicity."[16]

Anupama Chopra of Film Companion wrote, "In recent Malayalam films, homes have been the site for deep dysfunction and death – think Joji, Kala, Kuruthi - but this film’s default mode is a lingering sweetness."[17]
