Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana

In the heart of Punjab, a modest village teeters between the weight of tradition and the restless pull of the wider world. After a turbulent stint abroad, a young man named Omi returns to the place he left a decade ago, hoping to escape the shadows of his past and find a fresh start among familiar fields and bustling dhaba stalls. The film opens with the vibrant colors of rural life colliding with the lingering echo of a city that never quite let him go, setting a tone that is simultaneously wistful and whimsically comic.

At the centre of the village’s identity stands a once‑famous eatery, renowned for a single, legendary dish—Chicken Khurana. The recipe, whispered about like a family secret, has become the heartbeat of the community, and Omi sees in it both a chance to redeem himself and a way to reconnect with his roots. As he steps back into the cramped kitchen and the aromatic corridors of the dhaba, the story hints at a journey of rediscovery, where the pursuit of flavor mirrors the search for belonging.

The Khurana household is a tapestry of eccentric personalities: an aging, kind‑hearted patriarch Daarji whose gentle presence anchors the family; a spirited housemaid who keeps the home humming; a free‑spirited uncle whose anecdotes add a layer of quirky charm; and a childhood sweetheart, Harman, now a confident doctor whose re‑encounter with Omi sparks both nostalgia and tension. Their interactions are laced with humor, affection, and the unspoken weight of years spent apart, creating a lively tableau of familial love and rivalry.

Through its sun‑drenched lanes, bustling markets, and the ever‑present scent of spices, the film weaves a light‑hearted yet heartfelt portrait of a man caught between two worlds. It balances slapstick moments with tender reflections, inviting the audience to wonder whether the taste of home can truly mend a fractured past.
