Featured review
Romance has no age bars!
It is a common maxim that Romance has no age bars, however it is a topic that is rarely dealt with sensitively especially as a central theme by Indian Cinema. The romantic comedy movie Oggarane attempts to do just that around a theme of food. As it is said at the start of the movie, Life is about eating tasty food! Food, I suppose, is a metaphor for love here and that certainly has no age bars!
Prakash Raj as Kalidasa is an Archaeology official who is single and lives with just a long time servant. Sneha as Gowri is a dubbing artist and is also single. Thought both are perfect marriage material in career as well as looks, they have remained unmarried well into their middle ages. A quirky set of circumstances brings them together. Then with an under current of food and recipes, side stories of comedy and romance and even a little bit of suspense regarding adivasis, the audience is entertained with the narration of how their love blossoms and culminates.

What I liked about the movie:
- Great script and it flows very well most of the time. First half was perfect.
- Fantastic casting and acting by all. The younger love pair do seem to labor a bit but manage fairly well.
- Some of the comic circumstances were very good. We liked the potential bride interview visit the best.
What I would have liked different:
- Better pace in the 2nd half as it dragged in some places. There were 2 songs with the younger couple. One could have been cut.
- Adivasi parallel story was not concluded to my satisfaction.
- Story somehow lost the theme of food in the 2nd half.
