- Written and directed by Ganesh Raj, Aanandam is decent campus flick, which would have been better with a much more gripping first half. The maker has succeeded in giving a feel good movie and has included a good cameo surprise. Altogether the movie has fun, sentiments, love and friendship in it, but lacks the x-factor needed to make it perfect.

BOTTOM LINE: Ganesh Raj's "Aanandam" is a feel-good movie with the right doses of comedy and romance, which will lift you up for one full day. What you do after totally depends on you and how you look at life, but the film definitely has few tips.
Featuring a bunch of newcomers and helmed by a debutant, Aanandam is one of those movie watching experiences that makes you thank the cinematic medium. Beautifully crafted and visually enchanting, this is a simple coming of age story of a few teenagers who are on a four day trip.
Review by Michael James ★★★½ 8. A simple coming of age romantic drama that takes you on a fun filled journey evoking plenty of happy college nostalgia. Its got a neat storyline and a refreshing narrative backed by some pleasant music and good performances.
