This is one of the most underrated movies that have been centred around Indians living in the west. I do not understand why this title has been placed in the Comedy Genre. This is really a spiritual insight into what cooking and food really is, and also what value it can provide in our life and relationships. There are several quotes (especially from Naseeruddin Shah) that may sound very cliche but are thought provoking and hard hitting. This is an absolute must-watch for anyone looking to give meaning to their life.

The only thing that I did not liked was that the entire movie is in English, which was complete unnecessary and unauthentic.

This is an enjoyable light and fun comedy to watch. Nothing too deep. It has cliches, a bit cheesy at moments but still very watchable with good laughs. The cast is pretty good and music is catchy.

Today's Special is a movie with a great mix of humor, family, romance and humanity. It has nothing that I consider objectionable but I also think that it has very little that will appeal to kids. Although the end is a bit predictable and a bit slow at times (thus making it not a 10), it's one of the most entertaining films I've seen this year (and I've seen a lot of movies this year).

I would like to know why I don't remember seeing Naseeruddin Shah (who plays the memorable character Akbar (the cab driver/chef))in a movie before. He's the best of an excellent cast.

I found myself caring a great deal for the main character Samir (Assif Mandiv) which doesn't happen often in most movies I see (even the good ones). Today's Special centers entirely on the characters and the story. If your looking for a movie with lots of computer generated images (CGI) and/or other special effects and/or stunts and/or violence and/or action and/or sex, go see something else.

It was nice to see a movie that doesn't stereotype Muslims as terrorists and that many in the audience clapped for when it was over. I think most adults who enjoy a few very good laughs and a good story will enjoy this movie a great deal.
