Analysis

The biggest asset of the film is that it has been well adopted to suit the Indian nativity. Though the makers missed some from the original, all the episodes will connect well with the Indian audience. The entertainment and the emotional drama are the major highlights of the film. The lead actors managed to take them well on screen and surprisingly the songs are the major assets of Chef. The nativity, the locations, the lead actors and the hilarious entertainment will leave everyone fall in love with the film. 

At the same time, the second half witnesses a drag and it will not go well with many. The slow narration and the dose of emotions will not appeal to all the sections of audience. However the heart touching climax and the songs are the major highlights of the film. Saif Ali Khan dazzles on screen while Padma Priya will not allow you to take your eyes off. On the whole Chef is an interesting film that will make you emotional and laugh to the core.
