Summary
- Diners enjoy meals and drinks that appear on screen in real time.
- The trend combines cinematic viewing with a five-course dining experience.
- Events range from Bollywood classics to popular Hollywood films and sitcoms.
The "movie-to-menu" trend offers an immersive dining experience by serving viewers dishes and drinks that appear on screen in real time. This concept, gaining popularity across India, brings popular films and shows to life through synchronized culinary creations.
Cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru are embracing this trend with Bollywood hits such as 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.' Chennai recently launched its first edition featuring 'The Princess and the Frog,' showcasing Louisiana bayou cuisine. Events are typically held in private spaces and accommodate 20-30 people.
Organizers plan elaborate five-course meals, ensuring dishes are served hot and promptly. This unique approach transforms movie-watching into a multisensory adventure, allowing patrons to taste the on-screen action. Tickets range from Rs 1,200 to Rs 3,000.
Beyond Bollywood, popular choices include Hollywood films like 'Ratatouille' and 'Harry Potter,' and even sitcoms like 'Friends.' Menus are meticulously crafted, featuring iconic dishes from 'DDLJ' and 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara,' with adjustments made for a unique dining experience, such as in 'Friends' where Rachel's trifle is reimagined.
