[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Since my school days, I was told off by friends for distracting them with food descriptions in the middle of class. The habit didn\u2019t wane off in adulthood. I still spend a considerable time looking through food pictures on the internet, sighing at food videos by home cooks and dreaming about food photography. It is no surprise that I immensely enjoy watching films revolving around food. My favourite food film is Julie and Julia<\/em>. I\u2019ve watched it so many times. Others that usually end up being watched over and over again are The Lunchbox<\/em> and Ustad Hotel<\/em>. This list, of the best Indian movies on food seems a fitting tribute to my own love for them. You can stream these movies on Netflix or find them on other streaming platforms. Read for sumptuous biryani, Marathi cooking and dosa stories.<\/p>\n

The Best Indian Movies on Food<\/h2>\n

Before you read further, this list has my favourite Indian movies on food, some that I desperately want to watch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.The Lunchbox<\/em> (Hindi)<\/h3>\n

I watched The Lunchbox<\/em> first at a theatre in Mumbai, and then several times later when I miss the city terribly. Here Saajan Fernandes (Irrfan Khan), a grumpy, lonely Bandra widower, is nearing his retirement. Ila (Nimrat Kaur), a young wife and mother, is trying to win her husband\u2019s affections with food. Shaikh (Nawazzuddin Siddiqui), the new accountant to replace Saajan, tries his best to get his senior to like him. The Lunchbox<\/em> directed by Ritesh Batra is a fitting tribute to the dhabawalas of Mumbai<\/a><\/span>\u2014a tiffin delivery system that is over 125 years old. When Saajan receives Ila\u2019s husband\u2019s tiffin box in a mix-up of delivery, a friendship (then love) blossoms between them. They exchange letters hidden in lunchboxes. Ira happily cooks, often asking for advice and cooking tips to the aunty upstairs (who is only a voice in the film).<\/p>\n

The Lunchbox<\/em> is a movie on love, food, loneliness and nostalgia. You\u2019ll love Mumbai, crave home cooked food, and listen to the old song O mere Sajan<\/em> after a watch. My favourite scene is the one where Ila makes her husband\u2019s favourite paneer curry\u2014grating the paneer blocks, rolling them into balls, frying in hot, sizzling oil, and then swirling in cream\u2014for Saajan.<\/p>\n

2. Ustad Hotel<\/em> (Malayalam)<\/h3>\n

Ustad Hotel<\/em> is one of the best Malayalam food films. You\u2019ll be longing to have some of Karimkka\u2019s biryani and suleimani (black tea). Directed by Anwar Rasheed and written by Anjali Menon, Ustad Hotel<\/em> invites us to glorious food spreads, from saffron infused milk for a baby to palaharams while visiting a potential bride-to-be to big cauldrons of biryani.<\/p>\n

Faizi (Dulquer Salman) is the much-awaited son in a family after his four older sisters. However, relations between him and his father are affected when he trains to be a chef instead of pursuing business studies. He escapes to his grandfather Karim\u2019s (Karimkka to those who love him dearly, played by Thilakan) house in Kozhikode where he runs the small but famous \u2018Ustad Hotel\u2019. The camaraderie between grandson and grandfather is heartwarming and Faizi learns some life lessons, follows his passion for cooking and falls in love. Ustad Hotel<\/em> is fun, entertaining and makes a commentary on small business vs big chains and how satiating hunger is a blessing in its own right. You\u2019ll watch this more than once.<\/p>\n

Salt N\u2019 Pepper<\/em> (Malayalam)<\/h3>\n

This romantic comedy directed by Aashiq Abu is a fun watch. Its title song took Kerala by storm with the sheer variety of culinary delights. I still watch the Chembavu<\/em> song<\/a> when I am particularly missing Kerala food. Back to the film, this is the love story between a middle-aged couple\u2014an archaeologist (Lal) and a dubbing artist (Shweta Menon)\u2014 who bond over their love for food. There\u2019s also a young couple and a cook who find themselves in comic situations. This is one of the few movies wholly centred around food. It also makes a commentary on single women and sexism at workplace. Watch for thattil kutti dosa, unniyappams, rainbow cakes, and fried bananas.

4. Maacher Jhol (Bengali)<\/h3>\n

A Paris based chef (Ritwick Chakraborty) comes to Kolkata after 13 years. He tries to recreate his mother\u2019s maacher jhol, a Bengali fish curry but fails. He tries multiple times and also has to encounter the ghosts of his past. The food scenes in this film directed by Pratim D. Gupta are delicious\u2014those close-up shots of ingredients in oil and water will leave you in awe.<\/p>\n

5. Stanley ka Dabba<\/em> (Hindi)<\/h3>\n

Stanley ka Dabba<\/em> directed by Amole Gupte is a heartwarming film majorly set in a school. Stanley does not bring a dabba (tiffin box) to school and his friends share theirs. This does not sit well with the Hindi teacher (nicknamed Khadoos for the spoilsport that he is) who eats (and steals) from others\u2019 tiffin boxes. Stanley has a wonderful imagination and making stories come naturally to him. This movie will make you happy, and also sad.<\/p>\n

Indian food films to watch:<\/h2>\n

Here are two Indian movies on food that have been recommended to me several times, but I haven\u2019t had a chance to watch them yet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Aamis<\/em> (Assamese)<\/h3>\n

I haven\u2019t watched Aamis <\/em>(2019) and I wish one day I could. This Assamese feature horror film is written and directed by Bhaskar Hazarika. It tiptoes on forbidden love, food, lust and eventually turns darker. Here, a PhD student (Arghadeep Baru) researching on meat eating habits of the North East and a married doctor (Lima Das) find a connection in tasting meats\u2014mutton, rabbits\u2014and grow attached to one another. Later the movie dives into cannibalistic tendencies.

7. Gulabjaam<\/em> (Marathi)<\/h3>\n

I came across this movie when I was longing for Indian food films about vegetarian cooking. An NRI banker (Siddharth Chandekar) lies about going to London and instead goes to Pune to learn vegetarian Marathi cooking under Radha. I know when I watch Gulabjaam<\/em> (2018) finally, I will remember the Marathi food I ate every day for lunch from my friend\u2019s tiffin, packed by her mother. The same friend who recommended the movie to me.<\/p>\n

Indian movies on Food with grave problems<\/h2>\n

Axone<\/em> (Hindi)<\/h3>\n

When this list was being written, I had just watched the newly released Axone <\/em>and enjoyed it except for a few scenes that caused me discomfort\u2014a Delhi boy\u2019s obsession with getting a North Eastern girlfriend, and the way the smell of the eponymous dish was described among the apartment folks as sewer smell. I recommended it immediately on Twitter, wondering why we don\u2019t have more Indian food films, given our culinary diversity. Good friends bonding over good food, that\u2019s all I saw in the movie. There is a bias in the film, noticeable to me too, towards the Mainlanders. I don\u2019t really expect anything more from a mostly-Hindi film. Stereotypes, whitewashing one region of the country have always been the forte of the Hindi film industry. But in Axone<\/em>\u2019s case I thought they simultaneously focused on the characters from North East India. However, over the week I read and heard from people hailing from North East India about how dissatisfied and furious they were at the problematic representation in the film. There were many finer points raised that I, as someone not hailing from the NE India, had failed to notice. You might\u2019ve already watched this film\u2014going by Netflix\u2019s suggestion pop-ups\u2014or you are planning to. Whether you decide to go ahead or abandon it altogether, read this Twitter thread by Dwi<\/a> about her thoughts on the film, and this\u00a0piece on why Axone<\/em> is more about comforting racists than confronting<\/a> them. They raise many points worth thinking about. Hence on further reflection, I think the film did not<\/strong> do justice to the North East Indian communities that it aimed to represent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Axone <\/em>is the story of a few friends from North East India and Nepal, who want to cook a pork dish with axone<\/em> (pronounced akhuni, fermented soya beans) for their friend\u2019s wedding. The film takes place over a day and occasionally goes into the past to revisit trauma, dreams and aspirations of the characters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bonus<\/h2>\n

The Hundred-Foot Journey<\/em> (English)<\/h3>\n

The Hundred-Food Journey <\/em>is not an Indian movie on food but a 2014 American comedy-drama directed by Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m. Hassan Maji (Manish Dayal) is supposed to take over as the head cook in their family restaurant in India. However there\u2019s a mob attack \u00a0(leading to the death of the mother who was the head cook) and the Kadam family flees India and finds refuge in France. Watch for Indian cooking, fusion recipes and rivalry between two restaurants. And of course, the omlette!<\/p>\n
