Bored with Bollywood movies but fascinated with their Hollywood counterparts from his youth, Ram dreams to become a singer and actor in America, the country where dreams are made. He is encouraged when his American-based close friend, Vijay Rao, comes for visit, and brags about driving a Mercedes and living in a penthouse.
The movie offers up too many airy spiritual lessons in the hope of crossing from farce to sentiment.

A trifle, a silly one at that, but it's a charming trifle that's hard to resist.

rotten:
With a reach that frequently falls short, higher wit and sexual sophistication crumble into plain old silliness.

A precipitous comedic falloff in the third quarter earns the film a qualified recommendation at best.

Devoid of life, intelligence, humor, and anything else that could entertain even the most undemanding viewer, this film is a perfect example of something that should have been shipped to landfills, not multiplexes.
