Zoya Akhtar is easily one of the most talented directors in the Indian film industry. Her light-hearted yet introspective films like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Gully Boy end up deeply resonating with the masses.
She recently visited the iconic Gaiety Galaxy Theatre which has served as a haven for movie enthusiasts. If you have visited the theatre, you know all too well the old-world charm that this place has. It captivates you and transports you to simpler times when a theatre wasn’t part of some multi-national conglomerate with five different movies playing at the same time.
Her post was truly the stuff nostalgia is made for and clearly, she was having fun there as well!

The old-timey menu marquee listed a lot of delicious snacks. Starting with beverages, there were the classics which include mineral water, coffee/tea, and Pepsi in a glass. Only the true old-timers know the feeling of sipping on Pepsi in a glass!
For snacks, there was Veg Samosa, Veg Sandwich, Veg Burger, Veg Roll, plain or flavoured popcorn (because duh! It’s a movie theatre), biscuits and dal or peanuts! They even had ice cream!
The flavours are bound to make you feel nostalgic: Choco Cone, Choco Bar, Mango Duet, Raspberry Duet and Vanilla Cup. You can try all the bougie gourmet flavours you want, but nothing will beat the feeling of relishing a raspberry duet on a hot day!
