The end plays out as you thought it would. The original “Chef” at least made a comment on the food cart phenomenon in the United States, but there is no such phenomenon in India. Neither the food nor the emotions in this remake satisfy.

Chef is a poor fare which simply fails to touch the heart. It would appeal to a very thin section of the elite audience, but for the majority, it would be only as exciting as the prospect of feasting on stale food. At the box-office, it will prove to be a debacle.

Watch Chef for its simple yet beautiful take on modern relationships. Watch it for good, clean fun on a weekend. Watch it for Saif. And yes, ladies, also watch it for Milind Soman in a mundu.

The film is a true treat for travel and food lovers so don’t you dare miss this delicious beauty.
