MURDER ON THE WOK EXPRESS

Talkie – Make your own Wok
Theatre – Wok Express
Ticket Price – Rs.195
Box Office Rating – 3.4 stars

Cast – Desi chilli sauce , Veggies and Hakka Noodles

Review – This is a spicy and saucy story about an investigator Hakka Noodles and his adventure, about a missing, Indian foreigner called Desi Chilli Sauce on board the Wok Express to China. Hakka is a thick, long and fine investigator, over time he could almost take up any face, and disguise himself into Schezwan, Barbeque or Chilli Sauce looks to get to the end of a case. This time the case at hand is hard, because the spicy and hot aroma of the missing Desi Chilli sauce is everywhere in the air but, none of the on board sharp, juicy and crisp stir fried veggies can spot Desi Chilli Sauce. All of this keeps you hooked and you wonder where did the Desi Chilli Sauce disappear and how is it still engulfing the whole train with its hot and spicy flavours, leaving people with burnt tongues and a few noses leaking.
This is a major spoiler,and I must reveal it. This whole time the Desi Chilli Sauce was walking around disguised as Hakka Noodles, slyly burying Hakka Noodles, all you can taste and sense is the hot Desi Chilli Sauce dressed in the garb of Hakka Noodles. I personally found it too spicy, but because it is a make my own wok, your takeaway could be different.

On the banks of the same river lived Tartar Sauce, she was fine, filled with punch French lady, she wore green gherkins on her hair and had an aroma of lime freshness. She was a fine woman but with strong and pungent views, due to which her father never found her a suitable husband.
One day at the river bank Tartar sat disappointed and dejected with her feet dipped in the river. Instantly attracted to her lemon scent , Fish Finger swam across to her. At that brief moment they locked eyes and felt a connection like never before. But they couldn’t go beyond that because neither one can live on the other side of the world.
This is when Ponka, a Bread crumb scientist comes into the picture, he invents a brown, crispy and light cloak of Ponka, which allows the Prince to rise above the water and dive into Tartar sauces love. This union is passionate and steaming, it is one of the best fantasy love stories I have seen.

HAIL SCHEZWAN

Talkie – Dragon Noodles
Theatre – Amrut Sagar Fast Food
Ticket Price – Rs. 235
Box office stars – 3 stars.

Cast – Schezwan noodles and Hakka Noodles.

Review – A Chinese gang, war film that happened one night in the west lanes of Bandra.
All noodles used to stay together, schezwan and Hakka being the majority. Situated at the heart of the city core was a shrine, the Chinese schezwan sauce, where all noodles would come to take a holy dip in the spicy and holy schezwan sauce.
That year, the monks decided to open their gates only to the privileged Schezwan noodles because they too were red like the hot and holy Schezwan Sauce. This made the Hakka noodles get furious, and they revolted against the monks decision by placing a standing army at the temple gates.
Schezwan felt insulted and both the noodle gangs broke into war.
Who won the war? Who got to taste the holy schezwan sauce?
Well, you will have the answer once you watch the film. A must watch and definitely worth the money.
Do enjoy.

Be kind, for god resides in the heart of children.

There are so many important morals and values, every religion teaches us as children.
One of them being, that god resides in the heart of children.
God chooses to do so, because they are innocent, they do not know how to differ right from wrong. They are pure and nothing better can lighten ones heart, like that of child’s smile.
These children, on the street, are unfortunate, for no fault of their own, they land up in troubled and underprivileged homes. Let’s do something kind and tasty for them before 2019 comes knocking.

A WHITE – RED CAROL

Talkie – Boston Red Velvet Cupcake
Theatre – Boston Cupcakery
Ticket Price – Rs.110

Box Office Rating – 3.8 stars

Review – Every Christmas, Miss Red Velvet was the most sought after carol singer because she had the most moist , colourful and sweet voice. The only thing she longed for, was a partner to sing with, like other cupcakes. But Red Velvet was considered far too superior to sing with, even for the most creamiest of frostings.
One day during her usual practice sessions , A fluffy, tall and fair butter cream frosting her fan, from the meadow sang along with her. Red velvet felt the gush of nostalgia when she heard butter cream frosting, she recollected all the memories of her childhood days. She continued singing with butter cream frosting and at the end of the song, she offered him to sing with her for all her next stage shows. Their duo was super hit, many albums got released and they became a star. Since that day , no one has indulged in a red velvet cupcake without its classic butter cream frosting. So go to Boston Cupcakery to experience their concert film and let us know how did you feel.

BLOODY MURDER

Talkie – Truffle pizza
Theatre – augustcafe.in

Ticket Price – Rs 520
Box office Rating – 2.5 stars

Cast – cream sauce , truffle oil, exotic mushrooms and rosemary onions

Review – A murder mystery, that has all the right ingredients but unfortunately is missing something.
Two earthy and shinny girls; rosemary onion and exotic mushroom, plan a bachelor trip to Cream Sauce Angeles, for their soft and sweet, Bae Bread who gets murdered by an overdose of truffle oil.
The movie looks beautiful because of such a flavorful cast and creamy destination. But sadly the story offers nothing more than the independent flavors of these distinguished ingredients. They fail to form a perfect balance and leave you slightly disappointed.
I am sure the intent, was to make a film which had both beauty and the brilliance of a gripping murder mystery but you’d rather choose a different genre pizza at August Cafe.
