Critical reception

Sify stated that the film "defies all logic" and "The director?s desire for experimentation and the urge to break moulds blow up on his face as he has no proper script". Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com wrote, "The real blame for such slipshod work must undoubtedly rest with the director, though this could easily have been a taut, superbly crafted emotional thriller. Instead, there's a serious dearth of logic, completely senseless characterisation and a climax that leaves you as puzzled as amused." Bhama Devi Ravi of The Times of India wrote that "the interesting plot suffers from a lack of depth". Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "Listing the loopholes is a futile exercise, and anyway there are one too many. Suffice it to say that ANAI is an example of time, talent and labour gone waste".
