ETimes review shares mixed feelings
Our ETimes review for the film says, "Technically, Anomie fares better. Sujith Sarang’s cinematography sustains a gloomy, controlled visual tone, while Harshavardhan Rameshwar’s background score works hard to elevate uneven writing."
The review also says, "Performances are mixed. Bhavana is sincere but underutilised, while Rahman struggles to translate internal trauma into convincing screen presence.
" It adds, "In the end, Anomie is a film that thinks big but plays it safe. It is polished, occasionally compelling, and philosophically curious, yet trapped inside a thriller it never fully reimagines. Ambitious, yes. Memorable, not quite."
What lies ahead for the film
Since the film opened at Rs 23 lakhs worldwide, the next few days are important. Thrillers sometimes grow when viewers talk about the twists or the performances. If people connect with the gloomy tone, strong camera work, or the emotional journey of Zara and Jibran, the film may see a small rise. But the low opening shows that the film needs strong support from word of mouth.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
