Perspective
The series opened to positive reviews. Navein Darshan of The Indian Express rated the series with 3.5/5 stars, stating that, "Anantham is an endearing series, despite the blemishes. During a crucial moment in the series, Venkatesan [Prakash Raj] speaks of the importance of dying without regret or guilt; he thinks of it as the perfect ending. Likewise, the climax of a story and the emotion it leaves you with is equally important. Unfortunately, Anantham bypasses its golden moment for conclusion and instead chooses to leave us with an ineffective cliffhanger. Well, at least, Venkatesan gets a satisfying end."[2] Soundarya Athimuthu of The Quint told, "Anantham' is an endearing series about acceptance with gold intentions despite its imperfections. It makes you feel at home with its underlying theme to accept with love despite imperfections. As an audience member, one tends to love Anantham for its gold intentions despite its imperfections."[3] S.Subhakeerthana of OTTPlay said, "There is a lot of heart in Anantham though often it gets stuck in melodrama. Nevertheless I recommend that you watch this thoughtful web series [sic]."[4] Ashameera Aiyappan of Firstpost wrote, "Anantham, even in the weaker portions, is thoughtful, inclusive, and shows a lot of heart. It is not perfect. Its murals are often cut into by snakey cracks. It ends on a cliffhanger that feels forced. But even in the weaker portions, the film is thoughtful, inclusive, and shows a lot of heart. For that, my love for Anantham is infinite."[5]
