Dubai International Film Festival

In a small New Jersey town, the lives of seven strangers collide over three days as they take part in a Bollywood-style singing contest. They are a motley lot: a ruthless philanthropist, a gay bhangra rapper, an over-protected prodigy, a reckless actress, a lovelorn businessman, an entrepreneurial yogi – and a Loin King.

“Manish Acharya’s debut feature tells a roller-coaster, rib-tickling story. Its exciting cast includes National Award Winner Shabana Azmi, American indie favourite Ajay Naidu (Office Space, Bad Santa) and Broadway, West End and film star Ayesha Dharker (Bombay Dreams, The Terrorist). It won the Best Feature Film Award at the 65th Annual First Run Film Festival.” – Uma da Cunha
