Critical reception
Adiyae received positive reviews from critics, praising the lead cast's performance (especially Prakash, Gouri and Venkat's), narration, screenplay and Justin's music.[8]
Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave the film 3 out of 5 and wrote "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."[9] Virakesari gave the film 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that it is commendable that the director has cleverly described the alternate reality through the character of Venkat Prabhu at a time when the audience is confused about the story of the film.[10] Pachi Avudayappan of ABP Nadu gave the film 3 out of 5 and wrote that even if a little is not understood, the whole picture will be confused. Similarly, the alternating scenes make the audience question.[11] Ananda Vikatan gave the film a mixed review.[12]
