Curry Munchers (New Zealand)
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Aunanda Naaidoo, lead actor and producer, and Leela Patel, lead actress of Curry Munchers, will be making a special visit from New Zealand to present this Australian Premiere screening. They will be available for a Q&A session following the screening.
Please note: A short film, Letters Home, will screen before the feature.
CURRY MUNCHERS follows the life of Sid, a mid-twenties boy who migrates to Auckland from Delhi with his parents. He realises that he is no longer as popular as he was in Delhi, and believes that all he needs is a motor bike, like the one he had back home, to again catch the attention of girls. His parents want him to focus on his engineering studies, but Sid takes a part-time job as a kitchen-hand at a struggling restaurant, without his parents knowledge in order to buy the motor bike. His focus moves away from study towards the restaurant and new-found friends, including local girl Mary. Then along comes an opportunity to win the first ever ‘Auckland Metro Cooking Competition’, that changes his life forever.
