Synopsis: Manish Acharya directs this raucous mockumentary that follows the dreams and schemes of six Indian immigrants (and one non-Indian) as they go to war for big bucks in "Desi Idol," a low-rent New Jersey singing and dancing extravaganza presided over by the wily contest promoter Sudarsh Bokade, a man with a strong preference for Gipsy Kings music. "Idol" hopefuls include - A ruthless philanthropist. A bhangra rapper. An over-protected prodigy. A reckless actress. A lovelorn businessman. An entrepreneurial yogi. And a Loin King.
I laughed my guts out in this movie. A very witty movie, full of twists and turns... never a dull moment.. the character of a gay Sikh shock-rapper named Turbanotorious B.D.G. was hilarious, and my most unbelievable moment was when I realized a day later reading a review that.... WTF.... Shehensha Dude is the director!!
