The Bollywood adaptation of the Hollywood film Chef has all the ingredients of a successful romcom! But it fails because it seems all plastic & lifeless in spite of the verdant arial shots, Padma Priya in a modern makeover (she looked good though :)) & Milind Soman.
Everything about this film — Roshan K’s (Saif Ali Khan) fight with the critical customer, his rage, frustration, the Skype hour with his son, the father-son bonding to the sarcasm of the Malayalee house helps, the impromtu song & dance from lungi wearing singer Raghu Dixit, discovering the Rotizza 🙄 the final chase, the refurbished bus seems to be put there for the sake of putting them there.
.. the stacato dialogue… 🙄🙄😏
You get it, I hope? I don’t want to go on .. it never ran for long after a very promising trailer. I had to rewind it thrice over as I fell asleep each time I tried to watch it as I was curious to know how the transformation occurred, so I did stay awake to for once in between breaks.
Verdict: Can give it a miss! A better time well spent would be to re-watch Jon Favreau carving out that portion of meat, and making that cheesy overload sandwich.. oooooooo! Yum.
No such drool worthy moments here with Saif! (Disappointed) 😣
