MID-DAY gives the movie a rating of 3/5.
Hindustan Times‘ review by Monika Rawal Kukreja says “Anek is high on patriotism and thankfully that never takes the form of jingoism that’s quite common in Hindi films. The way Sinha has tried to show racial abuse that people from the North East deal with on a daily basis, their ordeal to prove that they’re as much a part of India, are great elements and do work in places. Also, you can’t disregard that this is one of the very few commercial films that has attempted to put focus on the worrisome situation in the North East, which many talk about but nobody really shows the courage to delve deep into. After films like The Kashmir Files, you can say that Anek is definitely a very important film and quite relevant in today’s times. I only wish that the execution was a bit simpler with a more focused screenplay that Sinha has co-written with Sima Agarwal and Yash Keswani.”
All in all, a decent start by Naga actress Andrea Kevichüsa – let us hope she can use this opportunity as a launchpad!
