Em Chesthunnav?

I watched this movie after seeing the ratings, I don't know how this got 8.7 rating.

The protagonist's acting is simply annoying and the story is completely weak, the movie run time is 2hrs but we feel it like 4+ hrs, very slow pacing, there are a lot of scenes in this movie which add no value to the story, example: the cooking scenes.

And at the end it's the same routine film making ambition this which is not even creative.

Talking about the protagonist's characterisation, it's too weak and the actor choice is worst

Even the writing is weak.

Why would the road side uncles annoy the protagonist even after getting a job and quitting? They just ask questions only till a person gets a job, it's a basic common sense.
