I loved the movie, no doubt in that. Certainly its a remake of John Favereaus Chef. I had not watched the Hollywood version earlier. It was only after watching Saifs Chef, that I got a chance to watch the original one. And I must say, the Indian version feels better. It is because you feel connected with the protagonist. The bond that Saifs character shares with his son is really very sweet. While watching the movie, I wished I too had a son like the latter. Svar Kamble, who plays the son has very sweet looks and he does justice to his role. Padmapriya Janakiraman, the female lead, is portrayed as a mother and a wife with modern values. She respects the father-son bond even as a divorced wife. Milind Soman has a cameo in this movie. And it would be injustice to not mention the cuisines that have been shown in the movie. Youll love Saif doing his job as a chef and that too with such dexterity. Good job Raja Krishna Menon and the team for a nice tribute to the original. They have been generous enough to mention that its an adaptation of John Favereaus Chef in the opening as well as closing credits.
