Steven Knight adapted the screenplay from the novel. He ensured that each element that made this special treat gained the right prominence and none overshadowed each other. AR Rahman’s lively score, along with the brilliant cinematography by Linus Sandgren made The Hundred-Foot Journey a passionate affair. Not an old, tested marriage.
But overall, The Hundred-Foot Journey simultaneously satisfies the cravin

It also has a script by the talented Steven Knight, and a score by Oscar-winner AR Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire). Oh, and it's produced by Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg.
Given all these lovely ingredients, then, why is the final product so bland — and, not to lay on too many cooking metaphors, reductive? A couple of scenes feel borrowed from what remains the most original food movie of all, the animated Ratatouille.

Review By:Times of India
Despite
its cliches ("You cook to make ghosts"), this is a poignant, pretty
film. Its prettiness is a drawback though as shots of sweetly charming
French rural life, cobblestoned streets, cheery farmers' markets,
forest-green lanes, et al take over. Sinking pleasurably into its own
charms, the movie hesitates to bite deep into stronger flavours - but
when it does, it's a pleasure. The chemistry between ace actors Puri and
Mirren crackles like tadka - and when they dance, their loneliness
mingles, like caramel, like sugar stirred into tea.

The Hundred-Foot Journey is reduced to plot holes and factual inaccuracies of surprisingly epic proportions.The Hundred-Foot Journey has a few ingredients that go into
making a cracker of a dish -- two acting stalwarts who light up the
screen with their mere presence, several gastronomically evocative
shots, and beautiful locales.
