GV Prakash and Gouri G Kishan shine in an inventive sci-fi romance
The film's true strength lies in its cast. GV Prakash and Gouri G Kishan shine in their respective roles, delivering convincing performances that resonate well. Gouri's endearing screen presence perfectly suits her portrayal of the singer Senthazhini. Venkat Prabhu's performance in both the worlds adds value to the storyline as well. Justin Prabhakaran's music, serving as the film's backbone, accentuates the impact of key romantic moments. While Adiyae may share some traits with time travel films of the past, the film's engaging narrative, strong performances, and skillful incorporation of alternate reality elements make it a worthwhile watch.(more)

GV Prakash's time-travel film is a lost opportunity
�Adiyae� is also quite enjoyable because of the chemistry between GV Prakash and Gouri Kishan. There�s also a reference to Gouri�s role in �96� as well. That said, some of the dialogues, especially the love portions, sound cringeworthy. Venkat Prabhu's act largely entertains us and also makes one question why he doesn't act more. The film comes together in the second half and that's where you get into the groove.(more)

Vignesh Karthick's 'Adiyae' reduces its 'alternate reality' premise to a bunch of pop-culture jokes.
The problem with Adiyae is that it is so desperate to tickle the audience that it doesn't take its story seriously. What we get is a bunch of pop-culture jokes. In one reality, the shelved Gautham Menon-Vijay starrer Yohan has been released and is a big hit. In another reality, AR Rahman is a dance master. Christopher Nolan is a Telugu film director. This flavour of juvenile humour gets stale very quickly � but it's the foundation the film is built on. And because the love angle is hardly developed, we don't care about this couple getting together. The tone is all over the place, and nothing in the film makes a case to be taken seriously. As for the ending, it comes after a such a confusing (rather, ill-fitting) series of events that it's just a blessed relief that it's all over, and we can return to our own reality..
