Imma not get into the religion debate, but spoiler alert for the movie
Nayan's character aces all dishes, except Biryani, so she asks her Muslim friend's mom why her Biryani during Eid (? Yaad nahi, i fast forwarded) doesn't taste good. In the climax, when she has to cook biryani, she starts saying namaaz before cooking, and when asked the reason, she says because her devotion to the Almighty goes in the food and her Biryani tastes "complete".
Now, har koi Jo Biryani banata, woh toh Aisa nahi karta, so point kya tha scene tha? Even her competitor doesn't need that sorta thing. Secularism? That turned out well! The character already had too many difficulty levels to deal with it honestly felt pointless. I can't even say that she couldn't connect with the dish and hence needed help, because she can cook all other cuisines.
Abhi I want Biryani too🤦♀️ I might have goofed up the scene(s) but I don't think this was worth taking the movie down, especially when hella more problematic stuff is out that
Well kinda stupid scene to estabish her own choice I guess? This sort of scene is not a novelty in Indian cinema (Anjali's prayer in KKHH, Akbar being drawn to Krishna Aarti, Jodha learing about the Quran etc, Sharmila turning Astik in the temple to save her child.)
But the scene you are describing is badly written I feel? In a way that it trivialises piety?
I don't have the mental energy to be offended on behalf of millennia-old religions. Toh kudos to people who have it in them to be offended on behalf of religions. Religions have survived for millennia and will survive for millennia to come as long as humans need hope — cringe movie scenes notwithstanding.
