Critics say Anek tackles the Northeast's insurgency and identity with rare, well-intentioned nuance and some striking performances, but most find the script overwritten, muddled or unevenly paced, especially before the interval.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 7 readings; 5 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
