    A fish out of Water

    A take on the classic fish out of water with an Indian trying to adapt in New Zealand while finding a new passion for cooking. You will feel the need to order in from your local Indian restaurant after watching, preferably vindaloo cuisine.

    A wonderful feel good movie with so much flavour and goodness.

    This is a wonderfully told story that has so much going for it. The Indian culture, food cooking, and life suddenly thrust into New Zealand. The struggles this family suddenly has adapting, but always have a really good attitude, spice, and humor. This fish our of water also is well-acted and beautifully filmed. I loved the ensemble cast and the love story element. There is something for everybody in this wonderful indie film

    A fun story featuring Indian culture

    This independent film may not have had the budget of larger productions, but it makes up for it with heart and storytelling. There are plenty of jokes throughout, and the story is clearly told from the mind of someone who has lived some of the situations. If you're looking for a cute rom-com that about something other than the Hollywood tropes, check this out!

    Indian and Kiwi Flick, Full of Surprising Laughs

    Sid and his family move from New Delhi, India to Auckland, New Zealand, for a better life.

    Of course, things don't go precisely the way Sid imagined. Cultures clash, people fight, and Sid must cook his way out of trouble. The acting is spot on, and the story unfolds as a kind of family-esk comedy. Or maybe it's a fish out water, romantic-esk comedy type story. Ah hell, it doesn't matter because it's sweet, full of heart, and surprising laughs.

    Good movie

    Love the city shots that open the movie... drew me in right away. super likable cast. The jokes mostly land. It was a refreshing take on a standard genre.
