Plot

Anamika (Sunny Leone), who lost her memories in a dramatic situation, continues her fights and revenges without knowing her past that she was a spy cop.

Release

The official trailer of Anamika was released on 1 March 2022.[5] The web series was released on MX Player on 10 March 2022.[6][7]

Reception

Archika Khurana of The Times of India rated 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Sunny Leone in and as Anamika engages the viewers in the thrilling encounters with the mafia and DTA Agents who are after her. One can really sit back and enjoy the action. Her training in a variety of combat (a combination of martial arts forms) is evident, especially in her movements and body language."[8]

Udita Jhunjhunwala for Firstpost wrote "The supporting actors range from caricatures (Ansari, an expletive spewing drug dealer dressed in all-white) to deadpan (Shrivastav) to slightly camp (Sameer Soni as businessman Sameer Oberoi)."[9]

Priyakshi Sharma of Pinkvilla wrote "It should be definitely noted that Sunny Leone is cast in a never-seen-before action avatar. She’s knocking down men with guns with ferocity. In Anamika, she is not reduced to being an object of the male gaze, but she’s someone with a complex history, a troubled past, and a conflict with her own mind, and that’s a great start to break free of being typecast."[10]

Reviewing the web series Binged wrote "The climax, like most of the story before offers twists. They don’t have an impact, and some we can see them coming miles away."[11]
