Another one, ‘Its_CineHub’ commented, “#TuYaaMainReview ~ SUPER THRILLER !! #TuYaaMain is a SUPERB FILM with effortless and natural chemistry between #ShanayaKapoor and #AdarshGourav!! Their performances feel REAL, RAW, and REFRESHINGLY understated, making the emotional beats land perfectly. The 1st HALF sets the tone of the film perfectly with a strong PREMISE, solid character introductions, and charming youthful vibes. The 2nd HALF is gripping and keeps you completely HOOKED, with tension building steadily towards a SATISFYING PAYOFF. Director #BijoyNambiar’s sharp STORYTELLING and TIGHT EXECUTION elevate the narrative beautifully, ensuring there isn’t a single dull moment. You will thoroughly enjoy the film with full concentration. Backed by #AanandLRai and Vinod Bhanushali, the film carries a unique, contemporary vision that connects strongly with Gen Z audiences while still appealing to a wider crowd. On the whole, this is a MUST-WATCH THRILLER, and kudos to the makers for attempting something UNIQUE! Go for it @aanandlrai @nambiarbejoy @vinodbhanu.”

X user commented, ‘_PatilVishwajit’ said, “#TuYaaMainReview, #TuYaaMain is a refreshing, youth-driven survival thriller that stands out for its bold concept and engaging execution. From the very beginning, the film pulls you into its world and maintains a steady grip on tension till the final act. The chemistry between #ShanayaKapoor and #AdarshGourav feels natural and unforced, which works strongly in the film’s favour. Adarsh Gourav once again proves why he is one of the most reliable performers of the current generation, delivering an intense and layered performance. Shanaya Kapoor surprises with her confidence and screen presence, making her role feel organic and impactful. While the first half takes a measured, slow-burning approach to establish characters and atmosphere, the second half is where the film truly elevates itself. The survival angle, emotional conflicts, and unexpected twists keep the audience hooked, making it a gripping watch. Director #BijoyNambiar’s storytelling is the backbone of the film. His stylish narration, sharp visuals, effective sound design, and hip-hop-infused background score significantly heighten the tension. Every technical element works in sync to create a raw and immersive experience. Producers #Aanand L Rai and #VinodBhanushali deserve appreciation for backing such a bold, youth-centric film without compromising on its originality. Their belief in strong content over formulaic storytelling is clearly visible on screen. Overall, Tu Yaa Main delivers a unique cinematic experience with strong performances, gripping storytelling, and a powerful second half. It connects strongly with today’s youth and offers something fresh in the survival-thriller space.”
