Aanandam celebrity review: Nivin Pauly, Kunchacko Boban, Aju Varghese, other celebs laud Ganesh Raj movie

Malayalam movie Aanandam has received a tremendous response from the audience and critics alike upon its release in Kerala on October 21. The campus movie, helmed by debutant Ganesh Raj, has also been lauded by celebrities, who call it a beautiful feel-good entertainer.

Celebrities, including actors Nivin Pauly, Kunchacko Boban, Aju Varghese, Ahmed Sidhique, directors Jude Anthany Joseph, Anil Radhakrishna Menon, Anvar Sadiq and Roshni Dinaker, who watched the movie on the first day, have appreciated the team of Aanandam on their social media pages. 

Nivin, who appears in a cameo role in Aanandam wrote on his Facebook page: "⁠⁠⁠The sheer happiness of reliving the college days for 2 hrs. That was 'Aanandam' for me. There was a refreshing cool breezy feel throughout the movie. Beautiful frames well knit into a melodic musical narrative about friendship and love. About conquering inner fears and being yourself. About relishing the best moments in campus. Anend, Abhinav, Sachin - Loved your work :) Rony bro - your best till date !! Congrats to all the new actors Vishak Nair Arun Kurian Thomas MathewRoshan Mathew Annu Antony Siddhi Mahajankatti Anarkali Marikar :) Producer sir - As always you gave your best !! & Mr Ganesh Raj - You marked your entry in style :) The film brings a smile on your face as in the name. Thank you for this treat brothers !! Ini anandamee :):):)." 

Aanandam stars seven debutants in the lead roles and Kunchacko Boban has welcomed them to the industry. "Welcome newbies to the Malayalam Movie family," the actor posted on his Facebook page. 

Aju calls it a sweet, refreshing and entertaining movie. Jude, who is known for his directorial ventures Om Shanti Oshaana and Oru Muthassi Gadha, has named Ganesh as the best student from Vineeth Sreenivasan School. It has to be noted that Ganesh has worked as an assistant with Vineeth for the blockbuster movies, Thattathin Marayathu and Jacobinte Swargarajyam. 

Overwhelmed with the audience response, Vineeth, who has bankrolled Aanandam under the banner of Habit of Life, wrote on his Facebook page: "Ganesh, Abhinav, Anend, Sachin.. I am proud of u guys.. I am proud of the work u did.. the team u assembled, the actors and technicians u discovered, the hope u instilled in the hearts of so many young talents longing to take their leaps into silver screen...As a friend, as a brother..
