==Critical reception==<br />
''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."<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Anjala/movie-review/50971022.cms</ref> ''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."<ref>http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/anjala-a-lukewarm-tribute-to-the-neighbourhood-tea-kadai/article8229328.ece</ref> ''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."<ref>http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/anjala/anjala-review.html</ref> ''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."<ref>http://www.hindustantimes.com/movie-reviews/anjala-review-a-lovely-subject-treated-carelessly/story-dmUSLWc9R2Ldv6aigHPWnK.html</ref> ''Moviecrow'' wrote "Anjala is an honest attempt with excellent intent. But intent alone never suffices".<ref>http://www.moviecrow.com/News/11173/anjala-review---weak-handling-of-a-heartwarming-story</ref> ''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."<ref>http://silverscreen.in/tamil/reviews/anjala-movie-review-bad-tea/</ref><br />
