Bollywood Masala in Perpignan: Dec 4, 2025
Overview
Bollywood Masala brings the vibrant energy of India's most successful film industry to the Palais des Congrès in Perpignan on December 4, 2025. Created by award-winning writer and director Toby Gough, this spectacular theatrical production combines the artistry of Bollywood cinema with the culinary traditions of India, telling the story of Mr Kari Balti, the legendary Maharaja of Masala who invented on-set catering during the industry's golden age.
