I watched Annapoorani with high expectations, as I am a fan of Nayanthara and a lover of food. However, I was deeply disappointed and offended by the film, which I found to be a mockery of my culture and tradition. The film shows a Brahmin woman secretly reading recipes for non-vegetarian dishes, which are considered taboo by orthodox Brahmins. The film depicts a Muslim boy falling in love with a Brahmin girl, which is seen as a violation of their religious and social norms. The film mocks the Brahmin rituals and practices, such as wearing the sacred thread and chanting mantras. The film also has a predictable and cliched plot, with many convenient and unrealistic twists and turns. The film does not explore the culinary aspects of the story enough, and lacks the mouth-watering visuals of food that one would expect from a film about a chef. The film has some poor sensibility and logic-defying scenes, especially in the second half. I felt that the film was an insult to my beliefs and lifestyle, and I regret wasting my time and money on it. I would not recommend this film to anyone who respects their culture and tradition.
Waste of time. While watching this Movie on Netflix, it felt like Switching Off multiple times. But, I kept on watching till the time the final Competition came where Chef Nayantara had to unnecessarily show off by wearing Hijab to get feeling for preparing Biryani in the Competition. That point, I couldn't control the Movie propaganda anymore.
Strangely in the entire Movie, "a Muslim" was showcased as "Pandit" who knows much more about Hindu Culture, Traditions and Purana's than Purohit. Muslim guy is continuously brainwashing by quoting irrelevant Sanskrit quotes and misguiding for wrong deeds.
Is that really an Inspirational Story of a Girl wanting to be Chef?
No, it was reality of How conversions and brain washing is done nowadays!

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.
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.

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.
