Many viewers have described ‘Ananthan Kaadu’ as an intense political thriller with memorable action blocks and emotional moments.Another wrote, “#AnanthanKaadu – Raw & Intense Political Thriller, starts with some excruciating sequences of Izham and the journey to Kerala, the story of 4 people, once they are needed by politicians and later they are not wanted.. Some sequences are goosebumps scene wise, need to connect more with Arya. Compiled and pushed sequences the film worked for me.. 3.5/5”However, not every review was entirely positive. Some viewers wrote that the film relied on an old-school narrative style that limited its impact.One tweeted, “Ananthan Kadu Movie Review: A flat, old-fashioned political potboiler lacking innovation. The filmmakers and screenwriters seem to have taken the film’s early 1990s period setting a little too seriously, as the writing and production were a visual hangover from that era.”Despite mixed opinions on its storytelling, the overall response on social media has been positive.Another wrote, “#AnanthanKaadu offers a solid combination of political intrigue, action and human emotions. Set against the themes of war and survival, the film follows characters trapped by powerful forces. Arya carries the narrative with a grounded performance. The film is full of intense clashes and stirring moments. It’s a watchable occasion even with a story. Rating – 3.5/5”managed by Gian Krishnakumar And written by Murali Gopi, the film has an ensemble cast that includes Regina Cassandra, Nikhila Bimal, Sunil, Indrans, Dev Mohan and Murali Gopi.
