Both critics and viewers had mixed to unfavourable opinions of the film. Critics claimed that the movie just touched on the real concerns and was unable to thoroughly explore the political environment.

Anubhav Sinha's Anek underperformed at the box office and was overtaken by Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 instead. JD Chakravarthy, Andrea Kevichüsa, Deeplina Deka, Manoj Pahwa, and Kumud Mishra also starred in the movie Anek.

With its socially relevant narrative, the movie might have a better effect on the online audience than it did at the box office.
