Tarla opened to largely positive reviews from film critics. In his review for NDTV, film critics Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and he wrote, "Tarla is a tale from the past but its resonance is contemporary. But as a film that celebrates a life and a calling and has Huma Qureshi in piping-hot form, it is only moderately scrumptious."
The film Tarla has been directed by Piyush Gupta and it has been co-produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Nitesh Tiwari. The film premiered on July 7 on streaming gaint Zee5.
Tarla Dalal was known for hosting popular cookery TV shows like The Tarla Dalal Show and Cook It Up With Tarla Dalal. She wrote more than 100 cookbooks and was awarded the Padma Shri in 2007. She died in 2013 at the age of 77.
