I tried bravely to watch for 45 minutes, hoping SOMETHING would wake me up from the tedium of wading through dull clips of talking heads going on about Nayanthara ( born Diana Kurien ) and her incredible life. She is charmjng, articulate, poised ...and blah! But ...what the hell... aftet this, many more stars will go for monetising their shaadi footage . Assuming she got paid for it.
