Reception
A critic of Binged stated that "he way the director starts and ends his love stories at the same location helps the viewer see a single situation from different perspectives. Otherwise, Anaganaga has nothing much going for it." and rated it 4/10.{{Cite web|last=Nadadhur|first=Srivathsan|date=2020-01-25|title=Anaganaga Zee5 Web Series Review -Four Hours of Soulless Love|url=https://www.binged.com/reviews/anaganaga-zee5-web-series-review/|access-date=2021-05-20|website=Binged|language=en-US}}
