"Wake Up Sid" features a simple birthday celebration with bread and tea.

I like Bollywood movies. No, scratch that...I love Bollywood movies. With cornflakes and milk, I practically grew up on these films. If you're anything like me, you probably quote random-yet-relatable movie dialogues in real-life situations, followed by a burst of laughter. Right? Perfect.

Now while most movie buffs think films can be divided into basic genres of comedy, horror, romance et al, I have a soft spot for one cinematic element that often gets overlooked: food. Food adds flavour and fun to our real life as well as the characters on reel life. If you are both a Bollywood movie buff and a foodie, I insist you get a little filmy and recreate these iconic, feel-good, foodie moments from the movies.

Here Are 5 Fun And Feel-Good Food Scenes You Can Totally Recreate:

1. Bread-Cake And Chai Party - Wake Up Sid

Beauty lies in simplicity, and this heartfelt scene proves it. When Sid visits Aisha late at night and learns it's her birthday, he's surprised she didn't plan a celebration. Her response? "Kyun? Yeh bhi toh party hai. Tum, main aur do cup chai." He then whips up a last-minute birthday 'cake' with a stack of bread with jam and butter, right before midnight. It's sweet, simple, and symbolic of a beautiful friendship.

2. Gol Gappa Challenge - Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

This one's for spice lovers and competitive eaters. The iconic gol gappa face-off between Raj and Tani is as hilarious as it is mouth-watering. All you need is a partner with a serious appetite, some 'teekha' tolerance and a highly competitive spirit. Head to a gol gappa station, keep no limit on gol gappa plates and see who gives up first. The result? A hilarious eating competition that is very difficult but highly memorable.

3. Wedding Crashers For Free Food - 3 Idiots

What are friends for if not spontaneous, slightly ridiculous adventures? While morally questionable, gatecrashing an Indian wedding for free food can be a thrilling experience for a bunch of college kids. Just make sure you wear the right "uniform" and do not end up in the wedding of your professor's daughter (free advice hai, leni hai toh lo, varna jaane do).

4. Desi Street Food Goes Global - Queen

Remember when Rani sets up a gol gappa stall in Amsterdam? It's one of the most empowering and foodie scenes in Queen. Though sceptical at first, the crowd ends up loving her food, and her stall becomes the most popular one at the event. If you love Indian street food, try making your own chaat counter during a trip abroad. Invite people to try Indian street food for the first time and see their reactions.

5. Omelette Asana - Coolie

This scene is pure slapstick gold. Amitabh Bachchan's character tries to follow a French omelette recipe on the radio, but his hostage switches the channel to yoga instructions instead. The result? He ends up sitting on an egg, eating a chilli, and smashing an onion while doing random yoga poses. It's hilarious and the perfect setup for a goofy cooking challenge with friends.
