    Euphoric movie

    I can't believe the movie was over so soon, I wanted this movie to last forever, it's that kind of movie. This movie has a perfect mixture of everything needed to show how a college student's life can be."Anandam" is a Feel- good teen movie, but I'm not sure adults would appreciate it as much.

    This movie could have toned down the use of Alcohol and other stuff, it was the only negative thing I felt. I'm sure for college students, it will be a visual treat. The songs were epic, and the characters you can relate to , you will be at least one of the 9 lead characters shown in the movie.
