The event began with opening remarks from Zoya herself as well as an exclusive video from the film’s cast, who were in Mumbai promoting the movie and were unable to attend the film’s New York premiere. In each audience member’s seat there were The Archies-emblazoned tote bags filled with delicious Indian-inspired treats and memorabilia from the movie, including chili chaat popcorn, lemon mango turmeric flavored sparkling lemonade, a rose pistachio dark chocolate bar, and a “The Archies in India” comic-book!
