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 .

#Chef is a decent remake of a hollywood film. The focus is on following ur dreams, food n the love for cooking. Thankfully, the romantic angle is underplayed n the dad-son bonding is very well established. Saif is perfectly cast as the chef, Svar is good as the son. South heroine Padmapriya is very impressive n natural, unlike most bollywood heroines. Hope to see her more often. Music is average. The locations r natural. But the running time should be reduced by 20 minutes. Rating 3/5.
In my opinion this movie is not giving any priority to the food than the family bondage and all. Of course, the backdrop of the movie is 'Food' and it is the direct adaptation of the English movie 'Chef' released in 2017, but this movie disappointed in a way. The crew tried to impart Indian culture in the script and narration, which is good in an angle, but they really failed to place Food in the first place. The attempt should be appreciated, the casting is god and also the BGM and the songs too. Saif Ali Khan and Padmapriya played their role well.
Kerala is one of the rare locations for famous food. Even if they shot the movie at Kochi, they have not even tried to explore the food varieties of Kerala.
I liked the movie personally, in a sense, which portrayed the sweetness of Father-son, Husband-Wife, Chef-customer, and friends' relationships.

As someone who just finished watching "Chef" I must say it was a delightful experience filled with warmth, humor, and mouth-watering food. Directed by Raja Krishna Menon, this film is a remake of the 2014 Hollywood movie of the same name, with a unique Indian twist."Chef" (2017) follows the story of Roshan Kalra (played by Saif Ali Khan), a talented but temperamental chef who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and redemption after a public altercation with a food critic goes viral. Along the way, he reconnects with his son and rediscovers his passion for cooking, culminating in a heartwarming tale of family, friendship, and second chances. While "Chef" (2017) stays true to the spirit of the original film, it also adds its own distinct flavor, thanks in part to its Indian setting and cultural nuances. The film beautifully captures the sights, sounds, and flavors of India, from the bustling streets of Delhi to the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, adding an extra layer of depth and authenticity to the story. Saif Ali Khan delivers a standout performance as Roshan Kalra, bringing a perfect blend of charisma, vulnerability, and charm to the role. His chemistry with the rest of the cast, including Svar Kamble as his son Armaan and Padmapriya Janakiraman as his love interest Radha, is palpable, adding an emotional resonance to the film. In terms of comparison with the original "Chef" (2014), both films have their own unique strengths and qualities. While the 2014 version may have a slight edge in terms of its screenplay and pacing, the 2017 adaptation excels in its cultural specificity and the chemistry between its lead actors. Ultimately, both films are equally enjoyable and serve as heartfelt celebrations of food, family, and the joys of life. In conclusion, "Chef" (2017) is a delightful cinematic treat that satisfies the senses and warms the heart. With its charming performances, beautiful cinematography, and mouth-watering food, it's a must-watch for anyone who appreciates good storytelling and a good meal. Whether you're a fan of the original film or new to the story, "Chef" (2017) is sure to leave you smiling and craving for more.
