In this viral reel, the figures, made entirely of noodles, mimic human forms with an artistic flair. Their flowing, noodle-like attire adds a unique twist as they perform intricate Kathak moves, complete with synchronized hand gestures, detailed footwork, and expressive facial expressions. The video is set to an original track composed by Maati Baani, and it was conceptualized by Kartik Shah, one half of the duo.

In a lighthearted caption, Maati Baani teased, “The noodles are back at it again! This time doing Kathak. Must say our kitchen has become very creative!”
