Writing partners Dulal and Mainak dream of shaking
up the Bollywood film industry in India with their script.
When they're being rejected by producers who refuse to

slams shamelessly hitting on girls. They find some hope
when the drug addled, cat-obsessed Gonzo Kapoor, the
son of a famous B movie producer, hires them to write
an art house film billed as "Tarkovsky with orgies" for his
directorial debut. All seems well until Dulal meets Ruma,

make it here,’ I sought his reaction.
