With his signature energy and expressive storytelling, Aviekal led audiences into the delicious world where cinema and cuisine came together.

In this uniquely designed showcase, Aviekal explored how Bollywood and Hollywood had celebrated food on the silver screen, revisiting legendary songs, dance sequences, and iconic dining-table moments that shaped global pop culture. His compelling narrative, rooted in extensive research and authored by him, turned the experience into a rich journey of nostalgia, rhythm, and flavour.
