Mixed opinions
ETimes rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars and stated, “The main timeline follows the familiar Aadu universe, and the other main timelines are from the 1700s. The transitions between timelines are handled well, but there’s a noticeable lack of excitement until the very end.”The review adds: “The time travel concept, while intriguing, only serves as a tease for the final installment, hinting at a more exciting sequel. However, that doesn’t help this installment move forward.”At the same time, he points out some positives: “Shaan Rahman’s songs and Dawn Vincent’s background score work well, and there are some dialogue and comical moments – like the High Range Che Guevara reference – that make you laugh out loud.”However, the criticism remains clear: “The supposed comedy unfortunately feels forced in places, and there is little spontaneity or organic humor in situations that are meant to be funny.”NOTE: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from various public and industry sources.
