‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ Finale Watch Parties Spark Social Buzz Across Indian Cities

The finale of Prime Video’s hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty (TSITP) has sparked a wave of themed watch parties across India, turning the show’s fan culture into a lively nightlife trend. Gen Z, in particular, is flocking to clubs and cafes to experience the final episode not just on screen, but as a shared social event.

From Delhi and Bengaluru to Jaipur, Hyderabad, and Lucknow, venues are offering screenings that combine entertainment with party atmospheres. Fans are gathering in groups to laugh, cry, and debate the central love triangle — should Belly choose Conrad, the brooding elder brother, or Jeremiah, her more outgoing former fiancé?

In Delhi’s Hauz Khas, Helter Skelter Cafe & Bar has scheduled two special screenings. Tickets priced at around ₹699 include not only entry but curated experiences such as shared platters, themed cocktails like pomegranate margaritas, fan-edit viewings, and interactive games based on fan theories. The screenings are designed to mirror the emotional highs of the show while adding a festive spin.

Other cities are joining the trend with their own twists. Lucknow’s Social has asked attendees to dress in breezy “summer looks,” while Bengaluru’s Church Street outlets and Hyderabad’s Team Broadway have added post-screening events — including a Taylor Swift music session — to keep the excitement going.

Organisers say these gatherings highlight a cultural shift: young audiences no longer want to consume pop culture privately. Instead, they seek immersive, collective experiences that merge fandom with socialising. For clubs, it’s a chance to reinvent the nightlife scene, while for fans, it’s about being part of a community that lives the narrative together.

The success of TSITP watch parties signals how storytelling and nightlife are increasingly blending in India’s urban hubs.
