THE HOUSE OF SPAGHETTI

Talkie – Spaghetti Meatballs
Theatre – @grandmamascafe
Ticket Price – Rs. 375
Box Office Rating – 4 Stars.
Cast – Chicken meatballs tossed in homemade tomato sauce and spaghetti pasta with smoked paprika flakes

Review – A period film about the legendary House of Spaghetti from Italy. The film has all the key characters King Spaghetti, Queen Tomato Sauce, Princess Basil, princess Parmesan and princess Paprika. What is so different about the film is that, it shares the unsaid tale and the scandalous relationship the three princess shared with the three meatball sons of the local butcher. Today the house of Spaghetti is known for its legendary alliance with the Meatball family but the story is quite interesting of how 3 commoner meatballs, sons of a butcher, paved their way into the royal house of Spaghetti. This is a definite watch and I haven’t found any other film based on the royal Spaghetti family that quite does the magic like this one.

THE CONICAL TWIST

Talkie – Farm Fresh Conical Twist
Theatre – The Conical Twist
Ticket Price – Rs. 150
Box Office Rating – 2.5 Stars.

Cast – Cheese, Pizza sauce, baby corn.
Review –
Whenever you talk of cone films, instantly ‘Ice creams’ pops up in one’s mind. But this short film is about the man who dared to do something different. A single father, who is scientist, is completely obsessed with the Pizza and his obsession starts to affect the lives of him and his children.
He begins to use the Pizza and all its ingredients in every meal he prepares. His beloved invention of the Pizza with a Twist takes form, when one of his 3 kids demand for an ice cream over the regular Pizza they have been fed for the past few months. Feeling guilty for imposing his love for pizza on his children the scientist started to make the cones for the ice cream and ‘ Eureka’ he chose to pour molten cheese, diluted pizza sauce, concentrated vinegar, elements of onion and baby corn all together in that cone instead of an ice cream.
When he presented it to his children they knew it wasn’t the ice cream they asked for but knowing their father was excited they indulged in his conical twist. Like all inventions, this one has its loop holes. The vinegar honestly could have had a smaller role to play, but it is a definite one time watch.

CHOCO BLOCK

Happy Children’s Day 🤗

My childhood was pretty much like all the growing middle class families of India in the 90’s. My most vivid and beautiful childhood memory is a Sunday ritual performed by my Father and me.
I grew up in Ahmedabad, where Sunday Bazaar would be held in Old City. This meant a wonderful Sunday morning ride behind Papa on his Bajaj scooter.
This was my biggest adventure of the week, to roam busy by lanes of Old Ahmedabad city and help Papa with weekly grocery shopping. And after this tiring ordeal , Papa would treat us to a special South Indian breakfast, a filter coffee for himself and something super special for me, my only block of chocolate ice cream for the week.
This is my favourite childhood ice cream story let us know what is yours ?

I-POP : ISCICLE + POPSICLE

Iscicle

Talkie – Fruit Fusion Popscicle
Theatre – Iscicle
Ticket Price – Rs. 150
Box Office Rating – 3.8 Stars.

Cast – Blast of fruits and ice
Review – This is a children’s film,based on the mystical museum of iscicles. It is house to some of the most beautiful and sweet fruits available on the planet, preserved in clean iced water. It was a marvel because, this ice museum stood strong in the hot and humid city of Mumbai. Legend even has it, that anytime a human has come in contact with these iced fruits they start to melt. That is why it’s forbidden for any human to touch anything in the museum.
During a school visit to the museum, one child dared and touched the masterpiece ‘Fruit Fusion’. This structure was a colourful marvel, filled with fruits like papaya, pineapple, bright red cherries, distinct white and black dragon fruit, crisp and juicy apples etc. Justifying the attempt made by the child to touch the ‘Fruit Fusion’ but what followed next was unexpected. Instead of the fruits melting away the boy received a lovely Iscicle and when he put it to his mouth, it melted and gave way for all the fruits to burst their colorful flavors. Since then the museum abundantly provided people with cold fruit treats and gave them a reason to feel like a child again. It is a brave and beautiful attempt by a new director, and we absolutely recommend families to head out for such a vegan and a gluten free talkie.

WHITE MURDER: SPAGHETTI ALFREDO

Talkie – SPAGHETTI ALFREDO
Ticket Price – 333 rupees

Theatre – Bombay 63
Box Office Rating – 2

Cast – Spaghetti, cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley and chicken.
Review – Italian movies can rarely go wrong, they have a reputation to always have great plots with rich acting. This film has a great plot based on a courtroom drama where 4 people have been charged with the murder of a classic dish like Spaghetti Alfredo.
The individuals who have been charged are cream, Parmesan cheese, parsley and chicken by the veteran Spaghetti. The witnesses to the case are the two hard and tasteless garlic breads. They support the Spaghetti Alfredo with the claim that the dish is not rich because of the lack of punch in the Parmesan cheese and the over tenderness of the chicken.

The best thing about this film is that everything is right and wrong at the same time and till the end you wouldn’t know who the culprit is. Try the dish and let us know who do you think should be accused for the murder of a classic like the Spaghetti Alfredo.

Talkie– SICHUAN BARBECUE INFUSED CHICKEN KEBABI
Theater – Bombay 63, Goregaon East
Ticket Price – Rs. 293
Box Office rating – 3
Cast – Chicken, Sichuan and Barbecue Sauce
Review – This is a story of passion, drama and rebellious chick flick love. The story begins with an aromatic, pungent, vibrant and bold girl named Sichuan Sauce. She was from the Sichuan Province of Southwestern China. She is anything but what an ideal Chinese girl should be. She decided to pursue her studies in a North China University; this was a rebellious decision by Sichuan, which leads to a number of her family members getting upset.
She starts her life there and to add to her family’s worries, Sichuan falls in love with a very handsome and distinguished exchange student from a Southern United States named Barbeque Sauce. They instantly clicked and shared an absolute Yin Yan bond of sweet and spicy. But Sichuan was sure her father would never accept this alliance but for his daughters happiness, he decided to give Barbeque a chance but only if he over comes the great Chinese Chicken challenge. We are not going to give any spoilers because it is worth a trip to this theatre. All we can assure is that, the film is an interesting experiment and a must watch this summer.

NACHO PRESENTED BY BOMBAY 63

Theater – Bombay 63, Goregaon East
Ticket Price – Rs. 293

Box office Rating – 2 stars
Cast – Nacho chips, Cheese, White cream and Salsa sauce.
Special Thanks to – Capsicum and jalapenos.
Review – Someone said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. Well, it was well said and one such example is the ‘NACHOS’ by Bombay 63.
The visuals and the characters of the movie looked quite promising. The film had renowned characters like Crisp nacho chips, Fresh White cream topped with a delightful Salsa Sauce. It also had my all-time favorite character, ‘THE CHEESE’. When the movie started, it all looked good. But slowly you realize that the film is predominantly about the cheese, and all the necessary supporting characters were missing. Even with some special appearance made by, the cream, Salsa sauce, Capsicum and jalapenos it didn’t do much for the movie. Spoiler alert, the big climax is unpalatable boring monologue by the cheese with no one listening to him other than Nacho.
Overall we feel the spikes in the plot are weakly placed, giving you very small moments of joy. It takes a lot to get such a basic and classic movie like the Nacho wrong, so sadly we are going with 2 stars.
P.S – The theatre Bombay 63 is pleasant and a must visit it for another movie, you can avoid the Nacho.
