The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014)

IMDB: "The Hundred-Foot Journey"
What an adorable movie! I'm not the biggest fan of movies about food, or Indian food for that matter, but this movie made me crave Indian food! And Manish Dayal.. I disappeared in his eyes. I think I missed some of the plot when he was staring at someone or something. The best thing about the entire movie was the difference between Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren) and Papa (Om Puri). Every time they approached each other I laughed because I knew something funny would happen.

Madame Mallory tasting Hassans dish. She has a Michelin star, so her standards are pretty high!























Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) and Hassan. She also has those eyes you just loose yourself in!
























Papa and his family lives in India where they have their own Indian restaurant. A tragic family loss happens and they decide to try their luck in Europa. When they're in France, the breaks on their car stops working and a local Marguerite helps them down to this sweet little town where they can get the car fixed. On the way, Papa falls in love with a building and decides that that's their new restaurant. The thing is.. Hundred feet away, there's a Michelin French restaurant and the Madame Mallroy is pretty.. "traditionally French" (if that's a thing?). Madame Mallory declares war, but Papa has something Madame doesn't have: Hassan!
