Netizens react to Anaganaga 

Anaganaga has received several positive reactions from the audience since its release. With X (formerly Twitter) users chiming in to share their praises for the emotional drama. The audience referred to the film as something they could deeply resonate with. While some showed great appreciation for the film's important message, others lauded the cast's performance. A user penned, "Such a beautiful film. Must watch." Another wrote, "If life gives us difficulties now, then it will be real life. When we face those difficulties and stand firm, then a story will emerge. The story you need is already in your life. Some Stories will Turn in Life, Some Life Will Turn as Stories #Anaganaga." 

A commenter wrote, "An emotional ride. The climax was heart-touching; the child actor nailed it. Sumanth was perfect as the father, and the heroine did great, too. Beautiful writing, soulful BGM. Kudos to the director & thanks to @iSumanth for picking this gem. #AnaganagaonETVWin #AnaganagaReview." A user penned, "#Anaganaga Review: Simple. Soulful. And painfully slow. @iSumanth tries his best, but a paper-thin plot and sluggish narrative drag it down. Telugu OTT isn't out of the woods yet—this one just looks better while getting lost." A user, in a long note, wrote:

"Would've Become a Blockbuster If you released this movie in Theaters Anna @iSumanth. The Best Movie I've watched in Recent times. Father Son Bond and Emotion. A nice way of teaching the Subject to the Students. I recommend everyone to watch this movie. #Anaganaga."
