Audience Member Meh. They took a great script made it Bollywoody and even that was bad. Bad Writing and Direction. Great acting went in vain. Saif needs to choose better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not actually a film critic, but maybe my review can help a bit, watched jon favreau chef twice i guess , both times felt good , the emotions felt real-had a connection to the movie twice so thats a really big deal, chef(2014) had its ups and downs, sometime the movie went drowning but it was also floating freely so i think it was ok-ok, but coming to the chef(2017) i felt the characters were trying really hard to push their limits, maybe they had a competition from the 2014 chef but this competition this comparison i think got them, and i think the movie went awfully down, because i watched sacred games before than chef(2017) so my expectations were a little high i guess, but i guess watching chef(2014) would be better, really better!! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I suppose part of my rating is explained by the fact that I just don't like Saif Ali Khan. But it is even harder seeing a movie where he plays an angry not-so-young man, given that it doesn't suit him and also, no one is interested in another person's temper tantrums. Be that as it may, there are some uplifting moments in the movie - especially some of the scenes between the father and the son exploring various cuisines and also towards the end as it all comes together for the Kalra-Menon families. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I had seen Jon Favreau's Chef and knew this to be the Bollywood rip over, well got to say they are two very different movies. While the plot premises is the same the storytelling differs, the Indian take is slow and all about father-son bonding, it does have few laughs but comes no were close to the fast-paced Hollywood version which besides covering the family angle is also a food adventure. For a movie titled Chef, it hardly covers the subject !!! Maybe if I had not seen the original I might have liked this more. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the original, but worth watch and a good performance by Saif Ali Khan Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I felt that Saif was not convincing as a Chef - all he is shown cooking in the movie is pasta. There are several awkward moments of silence in the film and with dialogues like "aur kya" (what else), it feels like the dialogue writer has run out of words.
