Aadi meets Lakshmi, a travel agent, and falls in love with her, but Aadi is unaware of Lakshmi's inferiority complex and her habit of cooking up lies for some reasons. When Lakshmi lies to Aadi about her being a single mother of a sever-year-old kid, Aadi decides to accept her with her baggage, while also uncovering the boss of the drug peddlers.

Lakshmi learns about Aadi's true profession and gets scared to reveal the truth as Aadi hates lies. Aadi soon learns about Lakshmi's inferiority complex, due to circumstances, and breaks up with Lakshmi. Aadi and his team captures some of the drug peddlers and interrogates them. He soon uncovers the identity of peddlers' boss Runo Sukoulam, head of Russian mafia. Aadi learns about Sukoulam's meeting in Pepe Resorts, Goa. Aadi's parents learn about Lakshmi and tries to convince Aadi to reunite with Lakshmi, but Aadi refuses and leaves for Goa.

Aadi's parents meets Lakshmi (who doesn't know the identity of Aadi's parents) and seeks her help to convince their son. Aadi and his team, while observing Sukoulam, finds Lakshmi and Aadi's family in the resort, as Aadi's family learnt about his location earlier. Lakshmi unknownigly reveals Aadi's identity to Sukoulam in a drunken state. A gunfight ensues in the resort, in which Aadi and his team kills Sukoulam and his men. Aadi accepts Lakshmi's condition and proposes to her, and the couple reunite with each other.

Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Aadi Lakshmi Puraana is a fun, romcom that does strike that familiar chord. The narrative works for those who like love stories, but a little taut storytelling could have ensured a seamlessly screenplay. Though, the clever subversion of a massy story into a romcom is laudable." [4] Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror gave 3/5 stars and wrote "At two hours, Aadi Lakshmi does not burden your time and does not overwhelm you in any manner." [5] Aravind Shwetha from The News Minute wrote "With its unique, contemporary content and essential entertaining elements, Aadi Lakshmi Purana is a fun watch." [6] A. Sharadhaa from The New Indian Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Aadi Lakshmi Purana belongs to the director and makes for a total family entertainer that will cater to all kinds of audience." [7]
