By Dinesh Kamath
Tujhi Majhi Love Story

Tujhi Majhi Lovestory (2014) is a romantic Marathi film produced by Rushikesh More and directed, written and with screenplay by Rushikesh More.
The film has an interesting story. TMLS is a romantic drama that tells the story of Indraneel, a 23-year old from Mumbai – a creative recluse, indecisive about his life or career. His family members consider him good for nothing and he spends most of his time loitering around with his friends or engaged in painting and photography, which are his passions.
His elder sister Sandhya receives a visit from her close friend Aditi, who hails from Goa, and as Indraneel is supposed to be doing nothing meaningful, he is tasked to escort them around the city.
Aditi is a focused and matured person. Impressed by Indraneel’s creativity and talent, she is able to understand the situation that he is facing and suggests ways to focus his life and channelize his creative energies.
During their time together, Indraneel for the first time finds a sympathetic soul who understands his point of view… and the inevitable happens: he falls in love – his first love, pure and immense.
Knowing fully well that he will not be able to confine the feelings to himself, he pursues her to Goa to express his love for her.
A shocked Aditi spurns his amorous proposition. She is committed to marrying somebody else, approved by her family. But she gradually yields to a relentless and obsessed Indraneel, fully aware of the social backlash that this kind of a union could invite. But doubts creep up and she begins to hesitate as the societal forces begin to rear their ugly heads to destroy their relationship…
Tujhi Majhi Love Story is a story of these two people who are stuck in a very unusual situation; both love each other but do not know whether they can take their love towards its fruition.
Star-cast of the film consists of Shruti Marathe, Gaurav Ghatnekar, Sanket More, Kalpana Sathe, Uday Lagu, Neha Bam, Mrunalini Jambhale, Ashok Kulkarni, Shrikant Kamat, Varad Chavan and Prashant Neman.

Chef

Chef is a 2014 American comedy film directed, co-produced, written by, and starring Jon Favreau. The film co-stars Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sofía Vergara, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt and John Leguizamo.
The film has an interesting plot. Miami-born Chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) has a chance to prove himself in a restaurant in Los Angeles, when a prestigious critic and blogger (Oliver Platt) comes to dine in his restaurant. Popular with hostess Molly (Scarlett Johansson) and his assistant chefs, Carl is working his creative side and dabbling in a new Tasting Menu, but the owner (Dustin Hoffman) intervenes and tells Carl to serve the menu's old classics. The critic gives the restaurant an unfavorable review. In his anger, Chef Carl berates him on Twitter, then publicly yells at him in the restaurant before quitting.
The bad publicity turns Carl into a social media sensation, videos featuring his meltdown having gone viral. His credibility and job possibilities evaporate, with one publicist suggesting he go on "Hell's Kitchen" due to the furor over his rant. Carl's ex-wife Inez (Sofia Vergara) invites him to Miami and he reluctantly returns there with her. This gives him a chance to establish a better relationship with Percy, his young son. He also connects with Inez when they dine on Cuban food and attend a club where her father sings with a band. Carl's ex-wife's ex-husband Marvin (Robert Downey Jr.) offers him a food truck, and Carl accepts.
In an effort to rediscover his culinary passion, Carl restores the broken-down food truck, names it El Jefe, and serves Cubanos, a form of Cuban sandwich. Joining him as a cook is Martin (John Leguizamo), his friend from the Los Angeles restaurant, recently promoted there to sous chef. They work alongside Carl's young son and decide to drive the food truck across the country, back to L.A. On the trip across the country his son finds ways to promote the food truck via Twitter and Facebook, and the food truck becomes successful in cities along the way, in New Orleans and then Austin, Texas.

Back in L.A., Carl offers his son a job in the truck, working after school and on weekends. His ex-wife soon joins the team and the infamous restaurant critic/blogger visits Chef Carl again, this time offering to bankroll a new restaurant based on the concept of El Jefe. The film cuts to the new restaurant six months later, busy and closed for a private event. The event is the remarriage of Chef Carl and Inez.
