Reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics. Times of India wrote "With cardboard characters and storytelling that lacks depth, even 3D doesn’t save this good script."[7] India Today wrote "Anjali's Lisaa abounds with jump scares and insipid comic scenes. Debutant director Raju Viswanath has a decent premise."[8] Sify wrote "It’s quite evident that debutant director Raju Viswanath has touched the untold stories of the elder citezen added an emotional ending along with a supernatural angle to serve it as the typical Tamil horror thriller, which ends with a preachy social message."[9]

gollark: > It would probably be very worthwhile to dual major in math if that's what you aspire to do.Indeed, AI stuff seems pretty maths-heavy. Some places have computer science and maths degrees, and also dedicated computer science with AI.
gollark: > cooking, accounting (like bank balancing, budgeting, etc), things of that nature should be required classes, since so many people suck at themYou can't expect schools to be able to teach common sense and everything else you might need. People have to learn by themselves eventually.
