1. Times of India -
Rating Score -> 4/5
With some powerful performances by Ayushmann Khurrana, Manoj Pahwa, Andrea Kevichüsa, Kumud Mishra, Loitongbam Dorendra, and JD Chakraverti, the film leaves the audience with plenty of unsettling questions – primarily, what makes you an Indian.Click this link for details
2. Hindustan Times -
Rating Score -> n/a
To sum up, Anek has its heart at the right place and is made with all the right intensions, it's the execution that's a bit disappointing and it's not a story that everyone would understand with equal amount of empathy and interest.Click this link for details
3. News 18 -
Rating Score -> 3/5
What holds the film back is its screenplay which fails to generate interest one hour into the film. For a film set in the hotbed of insurgency, it was important to keep the audience engaged throughout. If it wasn’t for its cast, Anek would’ve been a test of your patience. Thankfully, it isn’t.Click this link for details
4. Zoom -
Rating Score -> 3/5
The film picks humanity over jingoism and that's what makes Anek worth your time. There are no in-your-face one-liners, but conversations that headline the story. Anek's heart is in the right place, and for that, it's an important film in a world that's increasingly turning polarised.Click this link for details
5. Komal Nahta -
Rating Score -> n/a
Anubhav Sinha’s direction seems to cater to a very thin section of the elite audience only. He falters on two main counts: the narration is confusing, and the human drama fails to touch the heart.Click this link for details
6. Anupama Chopra -
Rating Score -> n/a
Largely, however, Anek is undone by trying to be too many things. The film is a welcome step towards more diversity and representation in mainstream Hindi cinema. But now we need deeper dives.Click this link for details
7. India Today -
Rating Score -> 3/5
Anek is a decent watch. If political thrillers fascinate you, it might as well be your weekend pick. However, if you were to go keeping the same expectation as Article 15, then you might return disappointed.Click this link for details
8. Indian Express -
Rating Score -> 2.5/5
Ayushmann Khurrana, Andrea film swings between conviction and a cop-out. Ayushmann Khurrana and the film stay woolly, being careful to stay in the middle of the while-on-the-one-side, but-also tightrope. Anubhav Sinha dips his toe into relatively unexplored territory, with mixed results.Click this link for details
9. The Hindu -
Rating Score -> n/a
In a way, Anek is a counterpoint to The Kashmir Files kind of cinema because it doesn’t demonise a particular section of people of the country and holds the politicians and bureaucrats — and not people — to account, without a cut-off date.Click this link for details

Rating Score -> 2.5/5
Before watching Anek, I did a little experiment where I asked a bunch of people to name all the Seven Sister states as well as their capitals. That every single person fumbled in their answers didn't really come as a surprise.Click this link for details
