Reviews (1)
This film is less wild than Bride and Prejudice. That's probably why I liked it a bit better. In terms of the competition of English language films with Aishwarya, The Mistress of Spices holds up well. It makes its way brilliantly into the Anglo-American provenance. Another positive side effect for me is that I am aware of the strengthening of my own love of spices. :)
