Director Vignesh Karthick comes up with a romantic drama titled Adiyae. He smartly uses the concept of an Alternate Reality to infuse an element of humour which is entertaining.

The first half of Adiyae is a delight to watch, with the romantic portions between Jeeva (GV Prakash) and Senthazhini (Gouri G Kishen) working like magic.

Their married life together and their conversations, while appearing simplistic and funny at the surface, actually emphasise the significance of trust and loyalty in a relationship.

The second half is not as classy as the first. But still, it manages to entertain with Jeeva’s character flitting in and out of the Alternate Reality world.

Adiyae, by and large, works because of four reasons. The first is the fantastic chemistry between the lead pair. The next is the clear concept of Alternate Reality and its variability.

The third factor that makes the film tick is Justin Prabhakaran’s music which breathes life into several sequences and the fourth factor is the humour it provides.

RJ Vijay, who is fast turning into a bankable comedian in Tamil cinema, does a clean job of cracking jokes that find their mark.

Adiyae despite being an entertainer is not a perfect deal. It has its share of lapses, the most significant of which is the lag that one experiences in the second half.
