Movie Review-;
Annapoorani (Nayanthara) belongs to Srirangatu Iyengar family. His father Rangarajan (Achyut Kumar) is an en gineering graduate who quit his well-paying railway job to serve Ranganatha as a prasadam cook in a temple. Pas sionate about cooking since childhood, Annapoorani dreamed of becoming a ‘corporate chef’. His role model is A nand Sundarrajan (Sathyaraj), one of the famous chefs of India. Thus, Annapoorani is interested in joining a degre e in cooking, but her father Rangarajan refuses to accept it, considering it a sin to be near meat. Annapoorani ad mits to hotel management by lying that she is studying for MBA. Caught between his father’s ideology and his dr eam, does he finally succeed in his dream and what are the challenges he faces is the story of ‘Annapoorani’.
Nayantara carries the entire film on her shoulders as she struggles to describe herself, expresses her passion for cooking, hesitates in scenes approaching meat, and breaks down and cries in tribulations. It is evident in his per formance that he is aiming for his 75th film in the film industry. In the history of the Tamil film industry, which ha s been surrounded by the hero image for ages, heroine characters have been written to ‘promote the hero’. Jai’s character is written to reflect that. Jay is also great motivation, so much! Similarly, Sathyaraj and KS Ravikumar do well in the motivational speech given to them. Karthik Kumar is an excellent choice as a typical villain written to earn hate.
Thaman sings in the background music saying ‘Asadha vara… Chalaka vara…’. He started walking with a knife and even opened and closed the door with BGM doing double duty. But it is annoying to see his old Telugu film backg round music here and there. The songs are also not very impressive. Satyan Suryan’s cinematography gives the a rtificial lightness of high-quality commercials. It sets the tone for the film that none of this is real. Cinematograp her Praveen Antony could have reduced the length of the film further. Art director G. Durairaj’s art direction is n ot lacking as the arena for the cooking competition is an ordinary cooking hall. Debutant director Nilesh Krishna has given an interesting way to start the main character’s objective and the background that hinders it.
But there is a problem with that. Most of the things that need to be described visually are imposed by the verses. For example, “we have to decide what we want on our plate”, the Tulku Nachiyar story is included in the list. Inte rmittent animations are also an unnecessary interlude that reiterates something already understood. Heroine g ets into trouble, someone gives advice and recovers from it. The screenplay is made in the mode of problem-advi ce repetition. As soon as problems arise, it becomes an easily guessable “let’s see if someone can give me some a dvice” and it loses its interest. In the second half, the template scenes are tired of showing someone as the villai n.
Similarly, a TV show on a private channel is constantly getting news and people are discussing it is a little over-p ass! Adhanga’s verse makes us wonder why women stuck in the kitchen can’t become five-star chefs. But the st ory doesn’t quite touch on that and wanders somewhere between chef competition and revenge.Although the overall story has an interesting one-liner, the screenplay is not very good, so this “Annapoorani” has been prese nted to us as a predictable film. In a story that begins with the usual Brahmin family background we are tired of seeing in Tamil cinema, the heroine goes through hardships, Annapoorani’s character is designed with a dream of becoming a chef, which brings us together as a single person.
Nayanthara as Annapoorani ‘Unauppriiyai’ is the heroine of the story in Nilesh Krishna’s first film as assistant di rector of director Shankar. He has chosen a plot based on his favorite heroine and thrown a delicious party for t he audience. As Annapoorani, she makes us enjoy the film as she holds a spoon with twinkling eyes, cooks and ta stes non-vegetarian food beyond her family background, and yearns for her father’s approval. Next to Nayantha ra, Achyut Kumar, who plays her father, scored the film. He shines as a father who shows affection and discipline to his daughter with the progressiveness required by his generation. Baby Annapoorani, who debuts as a young Nayanthara, steals our hearts beyond Nayan.
Actor Jai is like a pickle in the heroine-oriented storyline. The scenes with Nayanthara are reminiscent of Raja R ani’s chemistry, though not of much scope. KS Ravikumar and Sathyaraj’s characters are a perfect fit. Karthik Ku mar, in a role forced upon him by the film’s imperative to have a villain, earns hatred by doing what the story req uires. Although the story begins in Srirangam as a Brahmin strict family, Acharam, the film pays attention to the politics necessary for the story. Choosing the food we eat is a matter of personal choice, and the visuals about co oking and eating choices are clear. References to Tuluka Nachiyar, Hindu-Muslim friendship, dialogues on love ar e overlooked.
Starting with Agraharam and ending with 7 Star Hotel, Thaman is strengthening his background music. Verses su ch as “Jeichal and Thoth, I said that, should they be able to say that”, “No god says that you should not eat curry”, “B iryani has a religion, it is an emotion” and get applause. In the usual template heroine-oriented storyline, the first half takes a leisurely ride and the second half is thrilling. The second half bores us with the predictable plot, Karthik Kumar’s revenge scenes, the familiar Kuku with Komali, Master Chef type of cooking competition scen es. But those who want to happily watch Nayanthara overcome obstacles and shine in a woman centric storyline can go and enjoy it with their family!
