I am writing this review because this deserves to be watched by foodies and those who are nostalgic about home and the connection that food brings for memories. This is a beautifully made movie and made my husband who is both a foodie and a bengali get teary eyed and nostalgic which is exactly what this movie aimed for. It sort of reminds of Jamie Oliver's statement - cooking is the highest form of giving. Whether you agree with it or not, it is definitely one of the most wonderful ways of connecting. The memory of sitting around food lovingly cooked that is connected with laughter and love - well there are few things that can beat that. If we did more of that, perhaps there would be less mental health problems around.
The lead actor was understated, and showed some fine acting. The story flowed at an even space. Beautifully shot, with a fine ensemble of characters, this is a movie that deserves a watch with a plate of your favourite well cooked home food to savour :)
