Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food (2023) Telugu Movie Review:
Director Nilesh Krishna's drama, Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food, featuring Nayanthara, Sathyaraj, Achyuth Kumar, and Jai, hit theaters on December 1, 2023 & premiered on Netflix on 29th December 2023. The director, who also wrote the story, screenplay, and dialogues, collaborated with Prasanth S on the screenplay, and Arul Sakthi Murugan assisted in dialogue writing.
The narrative follows Annapoorani (Nayanthara), who, since childhood, aspires to become India's premier corporate chef, inspired by Chef Anand Sundarajan (Sathyaraj). Her father, Rangarajan (Achyuth Kumar), is a cook providing meals for Srirangam temple devotees.
As Annapoorani matures and expresses her desire to pursue hotel management for her culinary dreams, her family, especially her father, opposes the decision. Rangarajan fears she'll have to cook non-vegetarian items, jeopardizing the respect he holds in the community and his responsibility to the temple devotees. Will Annapoorani overcome these obstacles and realize her dream?
Nayanthara, portraying Annapoorani, is the standout reason to watch this film. She captivates in every scene, delivering flawless dialogue, especially during the climactic moments where she must prove herself to the All India Chef's Association.
Achyuth Kumar, as Rangarajan, convincingly portrays his character throughout the film. The well-crafted writing of his role, particularly in emotional scenes, contributes to the film's positive aspects. The remarkable father-daughter bonding between Achyuth Kumar and Nayanthara is another commendable element.
Sathyaraj, portraying Chef Anand, and Jai, as Farhaan, deliver noteworthy performances. Thaman S's music composition stands out as a strong aspect of the film.
However, the film could benefit from improved editing by Praveen Anthony, potentially trimming 15-20 minutes for a smoother flow. Cinematographer Sathyan Sooryan's work is commendable, though the film lacks script uniqueness. Many scenes in the second half fail to convincingly engage the audience.
