In India, talent can surface anywhere, even at a restaurant. A viral video from Geetham Veg Restaurant in Chennai has sparked mixed reactions after showcasing an impromptu musical performance that has taken over Instagram.
The video features a percussionist transforming a dining table into his stage, using plates, bowls, and spoons to create an engaging rhythmic beat. With two spoons as drumsticks, he skillfully delivers a captivating tune, drawing the attention of nearby diners. The performance quickly gains applause, with many customers cheering and recording the moment on their phones.
Shared by Geetham Veg Restaurant’s Instagram account (@geethamvegrestaurant), the post was humorously captioned: “Me to the waiter: Where is my sambar vadai? Waiter @asivamanidrums_official has all the spoons, sir. Thank you, legend, for giving our customers and us this beautiful experience of a lifetime.”
Uploaded just two days ago, the video has already garnered 990K views. While some viewers responded with laughter, fondly remembering similar childhood moments, others expressed discomfort. Some critics argued that the performance could have disrupted the dining experience for other guests.
One user wrote, “Oh wow, this is the same thing I used to do in school—it’s talent, bro!” Another commenter shared, “All these aunties have probably scolded their kids for doing this in restaurants, and now they’re applauding him.” Meanwhile, a third user commented, “A new cringe video has arrived!” A drummer questioned, “What would happen if I did this in your restaurant?” and another user expressed concern, writing, “Did no one find this irritating? Performing without consent is a public nuisance.”
