The film opens with a bang on the rolling titles of Nayanthara’s 75th film, showcasing all her significant roles in a flash, leading up to the 75th film. While this is a common milestone for heroes, it’s a rare achievement for an actress, solidifying Nayanthara’s justification of the Lady Superstar title.
As for the plot, it revolves around a young girl from a traditional village family whose ambition is to become a chef. The journey to achieving this dream is intriguing, but the director’s decision to introduce regional sentiments complicates the narrative unnecessarily. This aspect, involving Nayanthara’s aspiration to become a chef, proves to be a major drawback for the film. Without this point, the journey could have been smoother.
The interval scene introduces a surprising twist that piques the curiosity of the audience. However, the director fails to capitalize on this, and the film experiences a significant decline with unengaging scenes, despite the best efforts of star actress Nayanthara and her on-screen idol, Satyaraj. The incorporation of regional sentiments stands out as a major flaw, and the screenplay is deemed ordinary. Additionally, the chef competition scenes feel more like forced drama than genuinely engaging moments. It’s disappointing to witness a landmark film falling short of expectations.
Turning to the performances, Nayanthara’s acting is commendable, showcasing her excellence in the given role. Supporting actor Jai delivers a decent performance, reminiscent of certain shades from the film “Raja Rani,” though not to a significant extent. Senior actor Satyaraj fulfills his role admirably.
In conclusion, the film, despite Nayanthara’s standout performance, encounters challenges with its handling of regional sentiments, an ordinary screenplay, and an overall execution that disappoints in the later stages, ultimately falling short of its potential as a landmark film.
