#Anegan - KV.A comes up again with same kinda screenplay. Predictable twist. Good concept and idea spoiled by the execution.
— Thushy Sn (@Stn_here) February 12, 2015Viwerers also complained about a dragging pre-climax sequence.
#Anegan Superb 1st half & a Okayish 2nd half ! 80 % of the film is good. Lot of logical flaws, so climax is not convincing.Superb songs,cmra
— Christopher K (@Chrissuccess) February 13, 2015#Anegan - Pre climax portion bore.Average climax.2nd half Gud.Dhanush rocks as Kali.Different concept well executed.Twists predictable.Hit"
