NEWTOWN, PA — The historic Newtown Theatre and Guru’s Fine Indian Cuisine are teaming up for a special dinner and a screening of “The 100-Foot Journey” on Thursday, April 20.

The night starts at Guru’s at 5:30 p.m. when guests will enjoy a choice of three authentic Indian menus that include a drink (house wine, beer, mixed drink, or non-alcoholic), an appetizer, fresh bread, an entrée, and dessert. After dinner, guests will walk around the corner to the historic theatre for a screening of “The 100-Foot Journey,” which will start at 7:30 p.m.

The movie follows Hassan Kadam, a largely self-taught culinary novice. When he and his family are displaced from their native India and settle in a quaint French village, they decide to open an Indian eatery. However, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the proprietress of an acclaimed restaurant just 100 feet away, strongly objects. War erupts between the two establishments, until Mallory recognizes Hassan’s impressive epicurean gifts and takes him under her wing.
