With Anek, Ayushmann Khurrana is back to bringing unconventional topics into the mainstream. Anubhav Sinha’s film tackles the issue of racism and how people in North-East India are still considered as outsiders.
Nagaland model Andrea Kevichüsa has played the lead actress part in the film and it seems like Anek has sparked many thoughts in the minds of the viewers who’ve grabbed tickets on the first day!
#Anek talks about patriotism that brings people together, people with differences who are willing to talk coz the intention is to solve, the need is to love. @anubhavsinha @ayushmannk go tell the world ❤️

It’s an uphill battle to even highlight the complex nature & deep rooted conflicts of an unnamed state in this film (generalisation of NE is jarring)
The film seems confused between educating/preaching & focussing on its main storyline!
Watched @anubhavsinha ‘ s film #Anek .

POSITIVES:
1. Story
2. #AyushmannKhurrana & #AndreaKevichusa
3. Casting
4. Cinematography
5. Some Intense & Effective Scenes
6. Production Values
NEGATIVES:
1. A Little Slow Screenplay(Not A Problem For Many)#AnekMissionActionBegins #AnekReview #anekmissionbegins
First half, a lot of hard hitting scenes, feels quite scattered. Representation is good to see but many places dialogues are not clear should have provided with subs throughout. Will not be surprised if boycott trend starts. #Anek

A Decent Action Thriller 👍
A Terrific Script & Decent Screenplay👍#AyushmannKhurrana Shines In His Act👏
Casting Is Good (#AndreaKevichusa Was Too Good👌)#AnubhavSinha‘s Direction✌️
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐💫/5#AnekReview #AnekMissionActionBegins#anekmissionbegins pic.twitter.com/KZtS5jpfzQ
First half of #Anek an overload of everything you have read of NE India in mainstream media. Problem being, everything has been boxed in. Two words in Manipuri, a Naga folk song, jymphong bring worn by a few women in scenes, that’s their idea of diversity. It is a MESS. More soon

Excellent promotional strategy from the team. Really creates good expectations for the film#ANEK in cinemas now@anubhavsinha @ayushmannk#BhushanKumar#JeetegaKaunHindustan#AyushmannKhurrana pic.twitter.com/NN3Ke0Yg9a
I genuinely believe #Anek shall do India proud on the world stage. If Oscars are the yardstick then this film should be in contention to win the best film award
— Faridoon Shahryar (@iFaridoon) May 27, 2022
I genuinely hope the makers take this film to the world. It deserves to be seen n heard. Loud and clear
Must watch!
#Anek packs a lot in its runtime, peeling the layers off the frightfully little we know about the North-East. Bravo @anubhavsinha @ayushmannk for the thrills & diverse representation, esp Loitongbam Dorendra as a towering Tiger Sanga & Andrea Kevichusa as the lovably fierce Aido. pic.twitter.com/ucB4vBneAB

#Anek has a brilliant cast and they perfectly execute the director’s vision. The cast sparkles with some of the best talents of the country and some that you have never known before . The credible @ayushmannk once again steps into an unknown territory with ease and style .

Thread post watching #Anek – Gripping , raw and honest – #Anek has attempted to represent the voices that have never been heard before ; It’s audacious and relentless. It successfully questions the existing bias against North-east and roots for a unified India. pic.twitter.com/bcYR9dPAj8
