Reception
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". 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!" 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".
