Featured review
Kings of Curry
There always seems to be mileage to be had from rival Indian restaurateurs. Producers always seem to think it will lead to hilarious results. Anyone remember the Channel 4 sitcom Tandoori Nights from the mid 1980s?
In Jadoo two brothers who fell out years earlier split their mother's cookbook into two halves. One had the starter courses and the other had the main courses. Both opened restaurants in Leicester opposite each other.
Of course the restaurant with the starter recipes has underwhelming mains and the one with the main recipes could never get his starter dishes right.
Both brothers accuse each other of skulduggery from trying to steal staff, making phantom bookings to dumping rubbish and calling the health inspector.
One of the daughter's who is due to get married wants the brothers to heal the rift for her wedding and take part together in a curry competition so they can thwart another rival restaurateur.
Jadoo is an amiable low budget film shot on location in Leicester. It even features the local Member of Parliament Keith Vaz as a judge alongside cook and actress Madhur Jaffery.
It is feel good film carried with aplomb by Amara Karan as the daughter/niece marrying outside the family tradition. Harish Patel and Kulvinder Ghir play the rival brothers and chefs although Ghir plays his role with more subtlety than Patel, who like his girth is a bit on the broad side.
