Reception

[edit]

A critic from Cinema Express wrote that "Shouldering a noble intention accompanied by effective performances and powerful rhetorics, Anjaamai, true to the title, fearlessly voices against unempathetic policies drafted by bureaucrats and politicians unmindful of how they will be received by the common man".[11] A critic from The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "All in all, Anjaamai acts as a reminder for filmmakers to not go overboard with an emotional plot and to refrain from sensationalising a story".[12] A critic from Times Now rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "This film is aimed at conveying a message and might not be for those looking for entertainment. A decent film, worth watching once!"[13]

A critic from StudioFlicks wrote "Director Subburaman effectively showcases the stress and pressure imposed on students to succeed in the NEET exam".[14]
