What’s Good: It’s a happy film. Remember, one of those Mills & Boons, you know isn’t true but put all your heart into it? Just like that.
What’s Bad: For some, this might be too much suspension of disbelief and surrendering to the slow storytelling might put them off.
A romance drama where love, loss, longing and healing are forged through food
There are two approaches to cooking one that follows recipes to the minute detail by measuring at every step, and one where ingredients are combined with an intuition and practised sense of smell and taste rather than by the measuring spoon. Whatever be the method, good food nourishes the soul. Ani I V Sasi’s
Ninnila Ninnila (simultaneously dubbed in Tamil as
Theeni) shows a bit of both methods and roots for the second one. Food, here, reminds the central characters of people they have loved and lost. Food also helps to revive or forge new connections, heal, and find a new purpose in their lives.
Ninnila Ninnila Movie Review: Redemption in food but not for the audience
The film doesn t attempt to take itself too seriously and wants us to revel in gold-crusted fish and Turkish chicken and a dozen other foods Written By Ninnila Ninnila Movie Review: Redemption in food but not for the audience
Movie Name: Ninnila Ninnila
Director: Ani I.V. Sasi
Rating: 2.5
The trailer for Ninnila Ninnila had the vibes of a slow-burn relationship drama. It turns out to be the case, except that this film is also a quasi-food drama. Exotic/gourmet food is the leitmotif the film doesn t shake off. Characters bond over yummy food, which midwives conflict resolution. One of the scenes comes across as a rip-off of a moment from last year s OTT release, Middle Class Melodies (Hint: It has something to do with a father and a son).

From Baghpat s Einstein Chacha to Parineeti Chopra in The Girl on the Train, everything that made headlines.
Dear Reader,
Do you love chaat? Well, most of us swear by that quintessential Indian street food that we ve had little of in these Covid times. Unless they come riding pillion on a Zomato bike. But our Einstein Chacha from Baghpat loves his chaat so much that it resulted in probably the biggest fight on Baghpat streets in recent times. You can follow the updates on Chacha s orange hair and the street fight here.

Tuck Jagadish. The Shiva Nirvana directorial will feature the actress in the role of Village Administrative Officer (VAO).
“The entire film is set in a village, so I will also be seen in half-sarees for the first time too,” she shares, adding that her role was a welcome change.
“Having been born and raised in Hyderabad I have never been to villages. But for this role we shot in real village locations at Rajahmundry and Pollachi. It was a great learning experience,” beams the
