Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale seems to have fallen short of making a major impression in the hearts of people upon its Netflix release on November 18th.
The documentary on the Nayanthara, the ‘Lady Superstar’, has not been able to reach Netflix’s top 10 trending list, even after more than 30 hours of its release.

The documentary makes an attempt to capture the most important aspects of Nayanthara’s life including the controversies, private struggles, and other aspects of her career.
However, it seems that it has failed to execute the candid portrayal of her life that many fans were expecting. Critics have pointed out that the scenes in the documentary lack the authenticity expected from them.

The interactions between Nayanthara and her husband Vignesh Shivan feel very rehearsed, ruining the candidness.
While Nayanthara’s discussions on her past relationship struggles and her father’s chronic illness have added emotional depth, they have seemingly failed to captivate the broader audience.

Social media has also been highly divided on the documentary. While some users have appreciated insights into Nayanthara’s life and her struggles, others have criticised the predictable narrative and the actor’s greater-than-ideal portrayal in it.
People have complained that the documentary feels more like a promotional video than truly revealing, with them finding the real-life feud between Nayanthara and Dhanush far more interesting.
Only time would reveal whether word-of-mouth elevates the Documentary’s viewership, or it silently dissolves into the vast ocean of missed opportunities.
