Reception

A critic from The Star wrote, "Adiwiraku (My Superhero) can also check all the right boxes for having an inspiring story based on real events. What makes Adiwiraku even more special is that the majority of the young actors featured in this film are playing themselves. And, surprisingly, most of them are quite natural in front of the camera, especially Irdina Tasmin, Ahmad Adnin Zidane and Balqis Sani". [7]
