Composer Rajesh Murugesan, known for Premam (2015), repeats the magic he created with that Nivin Pauly-starrer and elevates the simple to special. The film does the same as well. Ninnila Ninnila celebrates the simple joys of life. It could be chefs channelising their inner Salt Bae to marinate a simple bowl of soup. Or parents understanding the dreams of their child after tasting a simple plate of scrambled eggs. Or even friends jamming to one of the most iconic rap songs, dancing their hearts out with the most simple of steps. Ninnila Ninnila does an excellent job of elevating the simple to special, and ensures a liberal dose of smiles, guffaws, sheepish grins, and tears as we navigate the lives of Dev, Tara and Maya. And for doing it all without much fanfare or fuss, here’s a chef’s kiss to the entire team.Read at source

Ninnila Ninnila
Ninnila Ninnila
Dev arrives in London to work in a restaurant. The restaurant named Amara is run by a head chef who is revered by everyone who works there. The head chef has never cooked in 15 years and judges any dish only by smell. Rajesh and Tara also work in the same restaurant. Dev who has unexpected muscle spasms is a good cook too. He quickly impresses the head chef and all the others in the restaurant with his stealthy apt additions in other's dishes. One evening, Dev and Tara enter the restaurant's cold store for ingredients. As the cold store has a faulty door, they put on a wedge to hold it. But the wedge is accidentally removed and the door is locked. Tara is furious at Dev for his incompetence to hold the door. They are stuck inside and slowly begin to suffer from hypothermia. After some time, Dev knocks on the jammed emergency button and the door is opened. Dev pulls out Tara who has become unconscious. As the restaurant is already locked from the outside, Dev cooks hot soup to give her immediate relief. Tara likes the soup but asks him why he behaves oddly at times, moving involuntarily and speaking as if someone else is there. Dev replies that he had a friend named Maya since his childhood. They grew up together and always had each other's back. Since their childhood, Maya loved to eat the food made by Dev and Dev says it is to feed her tasty food that he learnt cooking. Maya died five years ago in an accident, nevertheless, he could always see her since then.
