Tarla (2023)

Tarla is a slice-of-life film on India's most iconic home chef, Tarla Dalal, who wrote bestselling cookbooks, had her own cookery show and was the only Indian to have received the Padma Shri Award for her work in the field of cooking. Her story also captures the silent women empowerment movement that took place in the 70-80s and shows us how Tarla played an instrumental role in helping women of the era realize their dreams through food. Her journey seems like every Indian woman's story yet remains equally relevant for youngsters today. During her lifetime, Tarla received many letters from women across the country crediting her recipes for getting them approval to pursue their passions. These letters became a major source of inspiration for the film about Tarla's revolutionary journey from her kitchen to the living rooms of the entire country, inspiring homemakers to become entrepreneurs.
