About the Event

We don’t need a reason to party, just an excuse!


On opening night, we introduce you to the first look and taste of our 6 new Canteen Cocktails, inspired by the masala, madness, and glamour of the Talkies of Bombay!


Come travel back in time with us to the glitz and glam of the 1930s! We’re bringing back the charm of a premiere at the movies for you and it’ll be a night full of daaru, dancing and some more.



Swing to some old school tunes with the sounds of saxophones curated by Nigel Rajaratnam and Abhi Meer. And for one night only, catch the hilarious, drag king performance - The Gentlemen’s Club AKA Tape - by Patchwork Ensemble, which pays homage to Shammi Kapoor and the golden era of Hindi cinema.


Dress your red carpet best and re-live the magic of a Talkie premiere!
