Loins of Punjab Presents


A spoof on American Idol and other singing competitions, featuring five Indian immigrants and one "I have a desi girl friend" firang, all vying for the prize of being the Desi Idol and supposed fame in a seedy Edison, NJ venue. The loaded cast and slightly nifty script almost delivers but flounders at the finish line and in some places on the way. However it is good for a few snickers here and there.

Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd

Another pot smoking young director's debut: about some 6 couples - and their different takes on how they got together - take a honeymoon bus to Goa. The director has a Superman fixation which comes across as a ridiculous side story than an outrageously funny one. Ofcourse there is Boman Irani, Shabana Azmi and Kay Kay Menon, but it doesnt really matter.
