has to say about Saif's stint on screen: "Lead actor Saif Ali Khan, operating well within his comfort zone, slips adeptly into the skin of the mercurial Roshan Kalra, a Chandni Chowk man who, as a 15-year-old, ran away from home with dreams of conquering the world with his culinary skills."
On Friday,
Chef released along with Barun Sobti's much appreciated movie
