Annapoorani Review: Nayanthara-starrer has a fantastic concept, yet it’s not so interesting or engaging

Annapoorani had a limited release in Tamil Nadu on December 1. Nayanthara and Jai play pivotal parts in the film.

New Delhi: Nayanthara makes a remarkable return to the film industry with her 75th movie, Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food, which is directed by Nilesh Krishnaa and also scripted by him.

Released at the same time as the highly anticipated Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal and Vicky Kaushal-starrer Sam Bahadur, Annapoorani failed to generate much excitement at its debut, disappointing fans despite the film’s promising concept. Fans’ dissatisfaction, however, is due to the poorly marketed and simultaneous release of the two highly awaited films.

Annapoorani had a limited release in Tamil Nadu on December 1. Nayanthara and Jai play pivotal parts in the film.

Plot

The touching family film Annapoorani tells the story of a young Brahmin girl with a big dream: to become the best cook in India. In the face of obstacles, she pushes beyond her biases and common wisdom to realise her ambition. The film shows the traditional emotional story in an uncomplicated way.

Review

The performance that Nayanthara gives is absolutely mesmerising, and she manages to carry the film on her shoulders with elegance and poise. It is because of her interpretation that the story is given a sense of realism and charm, which makes watching the movie a wonderful experience for people of all ages.

Annapoorani is a narrative that is both touching and inspiring since it is a story of persistence and culinary ambitions. The plot is engaging, and Nayanthara gives a superb performance.

The film Annapoorani, which was directed by Nilesh Krishnaa, has a multitude of subplots that will resonate with people on a personal level.

The film touches on some good concepts, but it contains far too many plot points that are not well-developed. Aside from the imposed message on interfaith religion and the random women-card sequence, there is also an aspect of women’s empowerment. And it’s all jammed into the last hour, leaving little room for the audience to digest.

The film – Annapoorani is very flavourful from the very start. But after a while, they start to lose their flavour. Some moments seem too staged and unnatural. When given the chance, the concept does not go deeply enough.

Instead of trying to impose messages on too many subjects, the film may have been more delightful if it had concentrated on a few key principles.
