Synopsis: A romantic comedy about a man caught between two cultures. Varun, a Non Resident Indian, returns home to Hyderabad, India after a span of 12 years. He quickly finds that he can’t relate to most things that were once second nature to him. Much cultural confusion ensues and Varun experiences it the most with his two friends – Sanjeev and Harish. His parents, relatives, and even his milkman want to know whey he isn’t married, since he is slipping past his prime into the dreaded thirties. He wonders, if his best friend Sanjeev is going through an arranged marriage, why can’t he? Enter Ashwini – the self-made “”foreign-hating”” doctor whom he meets at Sanjeev’s arranged marriage to Seema. He is attracted to Ashwini because in her he sees the India he once understood and left behind. He falls in love with her adding another parameter to his confusion. The clear differences between his adopted culture and the one she believes in are a constant irritant, which ultimately leads to their separation and each of them agreeing to marry someone else. However, at their respective alters they both decide to go after what their hearts truly desire. Through a series of comedic errors, they finally come together. The issue of which place is better is never answered. After all, home is where you want to be.
