Review of The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014) by Panta O — 30 Nov 2014

Feel-good comedy-drama directed by Lasse Hallström from a screenplay written by Steven Knight, adapted from Richard C. Morais' 2010 novel The Hundred-Foot Journey, was something I needed after the busy day at work! The film stars Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal and Charlotte Le Bon. You know that it must be good when the production was done by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey!

Wonderful story of a feud between two adjacent restaurants; one operated by a recently relocated Indian family and the other managed by a Michelin-starred French chef (Mirren) was done the best possible way, with lots of taste and flavour. Very sweet and unapologetic fairy tale for adults will draw you in, and you will become a part of the conflict of cuisines and cultures which will be transformed into a success story.

I am not apologizing for loving this movie, and I will recommend it to everybody who loves a sweet story with mouth-watering food creations popping up from all corners of the screen! Thumbs up , big time!
