Bold colors, Indian food, and cute accents dominate a “foodie comedy” about an aspiring chef. He saves the family restaurant in New York with a taxi-driving master of Indian cuisine, acted by impish scene-stealer Naseeruddin Shah. Aasif Mandvi of The Daily Show scripted from his play and stars. He lacks leading-man presence, so our interest often fixes on Shah, pretty Jess Weixler as his new girlfriend, Madhur Jaffrey as his sitcomical mom, and Harish Patel as his hefty dad. Big Night it isn’t. (2010) — David Elliott
