Reception
[edit]A critic from Idlebrain.com wrote that "Making this film is a colossal misuse of producer's funds and watching this film is sheer waste of money. Watch this film at your own risk".[2] A critic from Sify wrote that "Adrustam is another heartless love story from the teenage love story factory that cannot be sold even as seconds in a discount sale!"[3] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "It is an intelligent, subtle and funny film about a young man's life, shadowed by a decision he hardly knows he has made".[4] Andhra Today wrote "This movie may simply be an addition to Tarun's list(Uncle,Chirujallu) of flops. It can truly test the patience of the audience and throw a damper on their appreciation. The idea of 'Swayamvaram' in this times appears very old fashioned and speaks poorly of the taste of director and the story writer. The mega bucks spent on the movie appears to serve no purpose".[5]
