A film that connects with you this well doesn’t get made every day".^[9] Suyog Zore of Cinestaan.com gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote "Overall, Ananya is a well-made drama about the girl's struggle to overcome her physical disability with courage and determination".^[10] Reshma Raikwar of Loksatta says "On the strength of good production values, story-direction, good acting, background music, 'Ananya' has been successful in portraying a story of stubborn stubbornness effectively".^[11] KalpeshRaj Kubal of Maharashtra Times gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and Wrote "A discerning viewer will not fail to feel this 'exclusive general interest'. And for those who just want to be entertained, the movie has drama and comedy".^[12] Vinod Ghatge of ABP Majha gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and Wrote "There is no doubt that 'Ananya' as a movie will surely give you the experience of watching something nice, positive and cool".^[13]
