Reception
[edit]Kalpa Jyoti Bhuyan from The News Maill wrote "The audience who are old enough to be peering through the binoculars of time, noting how distant the past appears, and wondering when and how their last day will arrive will be the ones most affected by ‘Anur – Eyes on the Sunshine’".[6] Prathajit Baruah from Nort East Film Journal says "The scene in which Anupama's son is shown driving a car with his little daughter in a foreign nation may infuriate the audience because the filmmaker ould have used enormous canvas to illustrate the scene. Anur, a film about loneliness and love in old age, will captivate audiences with its unique perspective".[7]
