Jon Favreau may not be the first person you think of for a food film, but with this newest release Chef, the actor-director brings to the table a sweet but unsentimental dramedy that utilises food porn the way his past blockbusters have used CGI.

The problem with reality shows like Jhalak DIkhhla Jaa is they start our with the pick of the celeb litter. But as the seasons go on, the celeb quotient starts scraping the bottom of the barrel.

The World Before Her review: An important, provocative film

Durga Vahini is the female counterpart of the Bajrang Dal, a subsidiary of the Hindu nationalist organisationVishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). If you think you know about this extremist group from media coverage, that’s not the half of it.
