▪Story

▪ Review
‘Chef’ is a good-looking film, with good-looking and decent people involved in it. The film is an emotional journey that ties up all the loose ends between fathers and sons, whose ideas may differ but who still share a deep bond that is impossible to shake off. This is handled so nicely; it leaves you teary-eyed on some scenes.
Talking about performances, all the actors have given their best either they are the lead or side actors. Saif Ali Khan is in his best. The actor is seen in a brilliant form, both as the hot-headed 'menopausal' man and later as the caring father/husband. Padmapriya is like luscious chocolate who leaves you with a craving. Svar is a preteen you can identify with. Sobhita Dhulipala (Vinnie), who shows up briefly as Roshan's co-worker and friend is good.
There are some interesting flavours here, but ‘Chef’ feels derivative, and doesn’t come together as a fully satisfactory dish. And this outcome is surely due to stodgy writing. The smoothness that should have been part of a first-rate spread is only in some parts: the others are awkward and stilted that impacts the entire movie.
Overall, Chef is an enjoyable journey which can add more tastes & sweetness to your day.
