The Hundred-Foot Journey PG
Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the
gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. When Hassan and his family, led by
Papa (Om Puri), move to a quaint village in the South of France with the grand
plan of opening an Indian restaurant in the picturesque countryside, they are
undeterred by the fact that only 100 feet opposite stands a Michelin starred
classical French eatery.
However upon encountering the icy proprietress, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren),
the Kadam family realise they may have bitten off more than they can chew.
Outraged by the new arrivals, Madame Mallory is determined to have their
business shut down. As cultures clash and food flies, a heated battle escalates
between the two establishments – until, that is, Hassan’s passion and talent
for French cuisine begin to enchant Madame Mallory and even she can’t deny this
young chef could have what it takes to garner even more acclaim for her beloved
restaurant.
This, along with his new-found friendship with her beautiful sous chef
Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), starts to weave a magic between the two cultures
and, despite their different tastes, they discover an unlikely recipe for
success that surprises them all.
