A romantic tale
It basically a romantic tale about two poeple brought together by their love for cooking.

This movie interweave West Bengal and Bangladesh through food. Any bengali viewers can related to the movie more emotionally. Notably the film has a Indo Bangladesh casting justifying the plot. Interestingly It is one of the few movies made with food as a protagonist and has been choosen in "25 great Asian films about food".
