A new English-language comedy set in the ego-driven world of money- and fame-chasing NRIs, “Loins of Punjab Presents,” was named Best Feature Film at the 65th annual First Run Film Festival in New York in April and the early buzz about the film has been extremely positive.
Written in English and set in America one of the things people will love about the movie is the instant association you feel you know some of these characters.

Synopsis:‘LOINS OF PUNJAB PRESENTS’ is one of the first films to combine the musical vibrancy of a Bollywood film with a narrative rhythm that emerges from the West.
A ruthless philanthropist, A bhangra rapper, An over-protected prodigy, A reckless actress, A lovelorn businessman. An entrepreneurial yogi and last but not the least A Loin King. Enter a roller-coaster world of seven strangers whose lives collide during a singing contest in a small New Jersey town. The film provides a hilarious insight into the competitive world of Indian singing competitions, and while Indian audiences will recognize or identify with some characters, non-Indian audiences will get a flavor of the music and the larger-than-life quality of this community. It has great talented cast headed by Shabana Azmi who lets her hair down for this rip-roaring comedy, supported with Ayesha Dharker, Ajay Naidu, Darshan Jariwala, Seema Rahmani amongst a horde of other actors.
