X Review for ‘Ananthan Kaadu’
Social media reactions started pouring in soon after the first show.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″While a large section of the audience appreciated the film’s performances and political atmosphere, not everyone shared the same opinion.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.”Disclaimer: Box office numbers and information in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
