Produced by stunt choreographer Dhilip Subbarayan, Anjala began production in December 2013 with Vimal, Nanditha, and Pasupathi in the cast. The film's cinematography will be handled by Ravi Kannan, editing by Praveen-Srikanth and music by Gopi Sundar. Dhilip’s father Super Subbarayan will handle the action segments of Anjala.^[3] The film experienced production delays and was later finalized to release during February 2016.

Soundtrack[]

The film's music and soundtrack was composed by Gopi Sundar. The soundtrack features five songs, the lyrics for which are written by Na Muthukumar, Yugabharati, Gangai Amaran, Yegathasi and Lalithanand. Behindwoods rated the album 2.75 out of 5 and called it "Anjala is a decent fun album that stays honest to its folksy aroma!".^[4]

Critical reception[]

Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote "Anjala is an uneven film, with filmmaking that is hardly remarkable and a script that lacks finesse and focus. Yet, the film makes it clear right in the initial scenes that it is more interested in going after our emotions."^[5] The Hindu wrote "The foundation on which Anjala is built, is wonderful. But alas. If only the ambition of the makers was to create something more substantial."^[6] Behindwoods wrote, "In a nutshell, Anjala might remind you of a similar spot that might have existed in your town too, but it does not drive you to go back there although that may have been the intention of the director."^[7] Hindustan Times wrote "As much as the theme of Anjala may be unique, the film’s scripting and treatment leave a lot to be desired."^[8] Moviecrow wrote "Anjala is an honest attempt with excellent intent. But intent alone never suffices".^[9] Silverscreen wrote "A fascinating plot, marred with unnecessary elements like an insipid romance, some crass comedy, and the juvenile treatment of the screenplay leaves us with one overriding thought."^[10]
