Nayanthara Beyond the Fairytale X review: Netizens call actress's documentary 'below average', Vignesh Shivan 'annoying'

Nayanthara's documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale, which began streaming on Netflix today, opened to mostly negative reviews on social media. The documentary celebrates the actor’s stardom journey amidst personal triumphs and struggles. It also documents her love story with Vignesh Shivan, which culminated in marriage. A section of social media users expressed that the documentary lacked emotions, and called it, ‘a planned drama’ for Netflix. 

Am X user reviewed, “Good First Half but Ended with Cringe Scenes in the Second Half, Emotional Scenes not Connected well. Predictable Scenes, No Twists and Turns at the end. BELOW AVERAGE..!” The second user commented, “The first half is interesting. Second half is really boring due to cringe love story. In Kollywood, even Marriage Casette is having second half curse.” One of the users slammed the actress saying, “Cringe acting in marriage for making money out of it. Can anyone be so greed for status, power & wealth. SKIP IT from your watchlist.”
