In Episode 3 of Chennai Canvas: Madras Week, we explore three different threads that reveal the city’s enduring character. From the unmistakable flavours of Chennai’s beachside food, shaped as much by the sea, salt air and atmosphere as by the food itself, to the story of how National Theatre brought cinema to the western suburbs, the episode travels through the city’s culinary and cinematic past. Actors Nalini Nair, Nassar and Pasupathy also revisit favourite Chennai food memories, connecting personal nostalgia with the city’s changing food culture.
