The good thing above this movie is the love between father and son. The other good thing is the mention of, what the Gurudwara at golden temple does and how special it is for one to become associated with it. It is being called the remake, but I would say there are many things that are replaced. The story is of a chef (divorced) living in foreign country, how he is fired from his job, later catches up with his son in India, tells him his story of how he becomes chef. They further open up a travelling food place built by refurnishing worn out double decker vehicle in India. It's also shown how he declines new job in foreign country for his family in India. Final Verdict: It's boring but has its good moments [(2/5) (7/10)].

CHEF starts on a slow note. The Father-son relationship is the highpoint of the movie. Also, Roshan's jealousy for Biju is funny. The second half is when the road trip begins also puts a smile on your face. CHEF being in the 'food *' zone, several scenes are sure to water your mouth though one expected to see more food visuals in this film.On the whole, CHEF is a feel good cerebral entertainer that charms you with its simplicity. At the box office, it should appeal to the target group of multiplex audience that appreciates discerning cinema. The film has the potential to grow with a good word of mouth. Taking inspiration from Hollywood's delectable film of the same name made by Jon Favreau in 2014, director Raja Krishna Menon gives us a slice-of-life film that satiates the palette and tugs at your heartstrings.Chef works on two levels. First, it takes you on a gastronomical adventure. But most importantly, the film is an emotional journey that ties up all the loose ends between fathers and sons, whose ideologies may differ but who still share a deep bond that is impossible to shake off. Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan's delectable drama, Chef, is a relief on several fronts. The inglorious mid-life crisis, identity struggle, fractured marital relationship and single parents' woes are showcased with impeccable grace in director Raja Krishna Menon's slice-of-life drama. But that shouldn't stand in your way of enjoying this heart-warming drama. It's modern, funny and leaves you hungry for more. Raja Krishna Menon binds the story very well. Choosing the tough way of avoiding cut-copy-paste, he does justice to the script and shows us how an official adaption should be treated like. Food being the backdrop, Chef is majorly a story of values, family and love. If you're watching this film,‌ a friendly advice, watch it with your stomach full – as it will make you hungry.

This movie's sub 5 reviews in IMDB surprise me . Acting is superb , locales great , a unusual storyline , brilliant editing . Overall a good attempt , I do not care was original was better . Do we really see movies to compare ? This is one of the Best of Saif and I an avid movie lover enjoyed the script, acting , cinematography et al. Surprised that he did not even get a nomination . Who says the movies is slow . Yes , this is " hatke" and that is what makes it special . This is no Bollywood masala stuff , cleverly packaged as it is now a days but an unconventional theme well attempted .

This is a beautiful and colourful movie. All the actors fulfilled their tasks very well. Although they had feerangi vibes somewhere but it doesn't make you forget your association with India and being Indian. The impatient people should avoid this movie because it runs slow in few parts. But people with light minded personality would like, love and accept this movie.

Considering the film has already been made once, and all the Director had to do was do a good job setting it in the Indian context and adapting it for the local audiences, it was quite disappointing. The film felt stretched, lengthy and extremely slow at many parts. While the Director did get away with using too many cuts in scenes where the stay on a moment was important, the overall pace of the acting itself seemed slow. The father-son jokes and banter needed a slighter higher tempo and swiftness, characteristic to the teenagers of day who speak and type at lightning speed. Unnecessary insertion of humor and extra elements such as the "union issue" took away precious scree time. Would have also loved for a deeper connection between the father-mother in the story, on script level, as well as performance wise. And the saddest part? The food could have been made to look so much more delicious and inspiring! Even though the focus was more on the personal evolution of the chef, the food did play an important role in his life and there was no logical reason to make the food shots look so boring and mundane. The songs, however, are great! The album is bound by a certain preference towards percussion (I felt) but still consists of a range of genres to listen to.

Decent effort but you wouldn't miss anything if you haven't watched it. Chef suffers a lot in terms of direction, with an otherwise strong plot. Music was perhaps the strongest point of the movie - especially "Shugal Laga Le" (not "sugar laga le") by Raghu Dixit is to be watched out. Story (7/10): Chef is a rags-to-riches story of Chef Roshan Kalra who starts off from Chandni Chowk to make it big in NYC restaurant and 3 Michelin stars. However, as the success gets into his head, his downfall starts and soon he finds himself out of work and away from the family he ignored for so long due to his career. As he tries to make peace with his unemployed life, he, reluctantly, takes this as an opportunity to bond with his son in India and also rediscover the old Roshan Kalra by going back to his roots where it all started and get his mojo back. It was a great plot but the story/screenplay screws up things very badly. Too many things were left to audience's imagination as the writer doesn't spend much time in building the background for the protagonists' downfall or the inexplicable chemistry between him and his ex-wife. The second half of the story is much better written, however it is still not enough to compensate from the confusion the first half creates. Acting (6/10): With no big names the department didn't have much to offer. Even after more than two decades in the industry Saif doesn't have a reputation to shoulder a movie on his own and this movie doesn't change that. However, he still does a good job - especially with respect to the character - picking up the knife skills to the least. Padmapriya was too flat faced across scenes to generate any emotions. Svar Kamble, playing Chef's son, was good to watch taking a good amount of load in terms of acting. Dhanish Karthik plays a good supporting role to Saif. Cameo of Milind Soman was good and refreshing, so was that of Raghu Dixit. Direction (6/10): The class that Raja Menon showed in Airlift was completely missing here. In total contradiction, he spent very little time in building a background for the story. The downfall of the chef just didn't seem convincing and trying to replicate Gordon Ramsay through Saif Ali Khan was just a wishful thinking. Raja could have done a little more to build a good and convincing chef instead of just showing him making pasta all the time - the only other two things his chef made in the movie was a chutney and his invention called Rottza. His chemistry with his ex-wife is weirdly portrayed - although the good part is that the movie doesn't show divorce in a bad light conveying that two understanding adults can separate on good terms too. The dance sequence shown between the two was amazing to watch. Overall (6/10): I loved the plot and the overall story, but the direction and poor casting almost kills the movie. If you give it a skip, won't matter.
