Tarla: How food serves as the language of love in Huma Qureshi and Sharib Hashmi's film
Hindustan TimesIf there's any movie that swears by the idiom, 'the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,' it's Piyush Gupta's biopic of Tarla Dalal, starring Huma Qureshi as the popular chef and Sharib Hashmi as her supportive husband Nalin. Cheating on wife with chicken Tarla cooks and packs vegetarian food for Nalin every day when he goes to office. Battle lines drawn - it's kitchen vs bedroom The war between the vegetarian wife and the ‘occasionally’ non-vegetarian husband is declared with another dose of laal mirch in gajar ka halwa. When love goes outside the kitchen window The rest of the story plays out like that of Suresh Triveni's 2017 film Tumhari Sulu, starring Vidya Balan as a homemaker-turned-late night RJ and Manav Kaul as her supportive husband.
