X user commented, ‘ShyamkrishnanB’ said, “#Aadu3 – A long-awaited sequel that brings back our beloved characters, this time in a larger-scale sci-fi/mythological setting, kicking off Part 1 of a two-part finale. The narrative smartly juggles past and present timelines, though the overall runtime does feel a bit stretched. The trademark chaos is intact - some "maalppadakkam" comedy moments absolutely killed, with the entire theatre going bonkers! A few jokes don’t quite land and feel a bit cringey, but that’s part of the franchise’s signature style. The plot gets increasingly intriguing, especially with the future timeline shaping the events of the past and present. And that ending? Leaves you on a proper high, setting up what looks like even bigger comedic madness in the finale. A lengthy ride with intermittent comedic highs, ending on an exciting, chaotic cliffhanger @fridayfilms2012 #jayasurya #Malayalamcinema #aadu #vinayakan #vijaybabu #saijukurup #dharmajan #fridayfilmhouse”

One of the users, ‘iammoviebuff007’ commented, “Throughout the film you will have a smile on your face, Fun, love, emotion all worked well..Lead pair performed well..Thin storyline..A better album would make this film a remarkable movie #withlove  I loved it#Adiyae Second Half Review ⭐Director Tried to keep it simple with the Multiverse Concept without much complications. There are few Entertaining Multiverse scenes in this half as well..👌. #GvPrakash , Gourayy, RJVijay & VP did Neatly what they were given to do..👍. Drawbacks - Overuse of Senthalini name, Could've explored the Multiverse concept more with Comedy scenes, Screenplay could've been more interesting. Nevertheless it's a Decent Entertainer for a Timepass watch..👍Rating: 3/5.”
