Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food

Nonsense, what a nonsense concept to give false information without any commonsense. This is very bad that this movie is such a bad that rather than cooking this movie is defaming vegetarian and vegan. This is such a nasty way to give false information about god and religion which is inclusive. Shame on the director and writer. And actors who are doing this film, for money you can do anything i know. No any ethics. Shame. Shame. Shame.

This movie should be banned at the time of giving certificate. Such a shame to the people who pass this movie to cinema hall.

Once again shame to all the people associated with this movie. They should be punished too.

The movie is utter waste of time of 2 hours 30 mins more, highlight is if your are Brahmin but when you do namaz the biriyani comes out well 😂 Joke of the year so you will find all these kind of appeasement and demeaning particular culture.

The movie would have been really good if they would have Removed religion cultural things( at least by not hurting one religion and promoting other religion) and instead promoted how a girl child can achieve goals in any career she deserves/wishes to be

Utter waste waste of time please spend quality time with some other good movie

I would say movie is purposely made to hurt ones sentiments.

The portrayal of Shree Ram and Sita consuming meat during vanvas may not align with ancient Hindu texts. Such deviations from established narratives can be viewed as misleading and potentially contribute to misinformation. It is crucial for creators to prioritize accuracy and sensitivity when depicting revered figures, rather than sensationalizing for commercial gains. This kind of misrepresentation can be considered disrespectful to the cultural and religious sentiments of the audience, and it is disappointing when creators prioritize sensationalism over authenticity Shame on creators for doing this.

This is foolish movie with baseless story line. I am puzzled how lead actresses agreed to do this kind of movie. Simply appeasement to one community and showing disrespect to other communities.#Netflix movie selection team lost the mind in getting this kind off movie. Shame on #Netflix.

"Annapoorani - The Goddess of Food" attempts to weave a narrative around the culinary journey of Nayanthara's character, Annapoorani, an aspiring chef born into an orthodox vegetarian Brahmin family. The film explores her defiance of family beliefs, her rise to becoming India's Best Chef, and the challenges she faces, including the loss of her sense of taste.

However, the movie struggles right from the start with its inconsistent storytelling and character development. Annapoorani's heightened taste buds, initially presented as a unique and essential aspect of her character, are underutilized, leaving the audience wondering about the significance of this trait. The family, portrayed as orthodox vegetarians, is abruptly transformed into villains, seemingly cruel for preventing their daughter from pursuing her passion for cooking.

The film takes a questionable turn as Annapoorani, facing the limitations of being a vegetarian chef, starts consuming non-vegetarian food. This narrative choice overlooks the rich tradition of vegetarian cuisine in India and the existence of acclaimed vegetarian restaurants, challenging the notion that meat-based dishes are essential for culinary completeness.

The forced inclusion of Hindu and Islamic ideals in the storytelling adds a layer of discomfort and comes across as unnecessary preaching. The film's climax, featuring a Burkha, a blind taste test, and dramatic elements, is criticized as one of the worst-written scenes, further contributing to the overall narrative disappointment.

Despite a talented cast, including Nayanthara, Sathyaraj, Jai Sampath, Achyuth Kumar, and Karthik Kumar, the characters feel uneasy and unconvincing in their roles. The performances are hindered by the film's one-dimensional characterizations and wasted potential.

"Annapoorani - The Goddess of Food" is ultimately marred by its inconsistent plot, questionable narrative choices, and underdeveloped characters. While it aims to explore the world of culinary passion and familial conflicts, the execution falls short, leaving the audience with a sense of disappointment and missed opportunities.
