“Annapoorani, labeled as Nayantarau0026#39;s 75th film, left me quite disappointed. Although the story had potential, the way it unfolded took an unexpected turn, focusing more on pushing a particular viewpoint rather than delivering a genuine cinematic experience. I used to think that Bollywood often leans towards conveying certain messages through their movies, but this time, it feels like the South film industry has surpassed them in that aspect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film raises questions not because of its story but due to how it steers the plot to promote a specific agenda. Itu0026#39;s disheartening to see a talented actress like Nayantara associated with a project that appears more interested in advocating a particular ideology than telling a compelling story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile the story had its merits, the decisions made by the writer and director took it in an entirely different direction. This creative choice left me wondering why Nayantara, with her successful career, would agree to be part of such a project. Maybe the significance of it being her 75th film played a role, but itu0026#39;s disappointing to witness a film prioritize pushing a message over genuine storytelling. Annapoorani falls short of expectations, especially considering the involvement of a seasoned actress like Nayantara.”
