      I got my spice now!

      The little Indian girl was born with extraordinary talents. By chance, she met the first mother and became mistress of the spices! But she had to abide by the terms to keep her safe. She came to LA to open a store and met an American man who fell in love with her, and was punished.

      It's a very clichéd fairy tale type movie. The heroine who was the champion of Miss World is amazingly beautiful. Do you really want to change the hero? I like the heroine and she wears traditional Indian...

      A successful sale of Indian tradition

      This time, the Indians are selling their traditions, just as the big Chinese directors are all selling ancient costume martial arts.
      The spices in India are indeed very special, there are thousands of kinds, and they are endowed with magic power. This time, Europeans and Americans should be stunned.
      A beautiful and kind Indian girl who learned how to use seasonings to help others out of trouble since she was a child. In her opinion, all seasonings have their own special magic (this is...

      There is a shadow of "Chocolate"

      Sure enough, it is magical realism. In the atmosphere created by Indian female voices, the surreal elements do not seem abrupt.

      The heroine is so beautiful! The title of Miss World is not too great, the key is the tranquil and elegant temperament.

      The whole play has the shadow of Binoche and Depp's "Chocolate", but the story is not as smooth and natural as the latter. Especially at the end, two heroines who have been given special missions since childhood, one scatters the...

      Past life and present life, what you look like

      If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
          I want to travel through time and space.
          In this way, I can meet, past and present, your appearance.

          A spice master, who has the ability to predict the future, but cannot love people. She can only belong to the spice, and she can only abide by the oath of "the healer cannot heal himself, avoid any skin relatives, and cannot leave the spice shop". Once the oath is betrayed, the spice will be angry, which will not...

      love is not wrong

      I just watched it, the exotic style is very strong, the
          heroine is very beautiful, Aishwarya Rai, it seems that almost all Indian movies are starring her, I can't help but admit that she is really beautiful, very sexy, and a woman with a graceful figure drooling, and domestic skinny girls are very different
          actor too familiar with, Dylan McDermott, handsome
      together a little off the cliche, beauty and handsome love at first sight. The film also changed the tradition of...

    Heroine: The most beautiful woman in the world

    The phrase "the most beautiful woman in the world" comes naturally from a man's mouth, but the same heartfelt admiration from another beautiful woman, Julia Roberts, is rare. Julia Roberts is not the only one who has fallen for the heroine Esviali. With a stunning face, Esviali defeated the beauties of various countries and won the Miss World Championship in 1994. Since then, she has grown rapidly. In addition to being a model, she has...

    Movie quotes

    • Tilo: I closed my eyes and willed my breath to slow, my conscious mind to fold itself inward. I could feel heat pulsing from my daughter's head, her frantic thoughts whirling like broken glass. I loosened my hold on my body and dropped into that whirlpool.

    • Tilo: Each spice has a special day to it. For turmeric it is Sunday, when light drips fat and butter-colored into the bins to be soaked up glowing, when you pray to the nine planets for love and luck.

    • Tilo: Chili, spice of red Thursday, which is the day of reckoning. Day which invites us to pick up the sack of our existence and shake it inside out. Day of suicide, day of murder.
