A flavour brimming mix of food, passion and heart, THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY is a story of persistence and triumph over exile.

\"\"In the film, Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ing\u00e9nue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch.

However upon encountering the icy proprietress, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren),\u00a0the Kadam family realise they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

As cultures clash and food flies, a heated battle escalates between the two establishments \u2013 until, that is, Hassan\u2019s passion and talent for French cuisine begin to enchant Madame Mallory and even she can\u2019t deny this young chef could have what it takes to garner even more acclaim for her beloved restaurant. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
