Aditi Rao Hydari's heartfelt support for Siddharth
Adding a personal touch to the film's release, Aditi Rao Hydari—Siddharth's wife and Heeramandi star—took to Instagram to cheer him on. Sharing a sweet and emotional message, she referred to him as her 'Benjamin Button / Peter Pan / manicorn.'
In her caption, she reflected on the film's core theme: 'The dream every Indian family dreams. To have a home they can call their own...
to dream with determination, with hope, with love, goodness, and to never give up.'
Our verdict
ETimes gave the movie a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our official review reads, "Siddharth doesn't age! He's believable as both a schoolboy and a grown-up. Sarathkumar brings genuine pathos to the perpetually worried patriarch. Devayani who plays Sarathkumar's wife Shanti, is adequate. But familiarity breeds tedium here.
The beats arrive exactly when expected: the well-meaning father who makes questionable decisions, the son who rediscovers his true calling after years of mediocrity, the sacrificial daughter whose potential gets sidelined.
Yogi Babu's brief role as a broker offers a couple of amusing moments. At 140 minutes, the film tests patience without offering much beyond recognition. Yes, the struggles will ring a bell. Yes, you'll appreciate the absence of manufactured drama. But recognition isn't the same as engagement. '3 BHK' constructs its narrative like its titular apartment: functional, predictable, and standard."
Driven by compelling performances from Siddharth, R. Sarathkumar, and Devayani, '3BHK' seems all set for a steady run if its current pace continues.
