Aruna & Lidahnya creatively blends culinary exploration with themes of politics, friendship, and love, offering a unique narrative anchored in food analogies. The film’s breaking of the fourth wall through Aruna's direct address to the audience adds intimacy, making viewers feel like part of the journey. Strong performances, especially Dian Sastrowardoyo’s expressive acting, combined with appealing visuals and food cinematography, make this film a delightful watch for fans of light romance and meaningful storytelling.
