Lions of Punjab Presents: laugh and nothing else

The movie is a take on talent hunt shows, which are growing like mushroom on every channel. When the background of the movie is talent hunt shows, the movie has to be funny and yes, it is funny.

The movie is all about a talent hunt in USA, "Desi Idol" organized by "Lions of Punjab" and managed by "Bokade Event Management Company". The participants are 17 year old Priti Patel (Who comes for the contest accompanied by her entire family, they have really funny way of speaking English and have really funny habits), Sania Rehman (An aspiring Indian actress, who doesn't know Hindi but pretends to know the same. Which again leads to some interesting turn in the movie), Rrita Kapoor (Who is participating in the contest, so that she can win the prize money and donate the same to her fund raiser. Oh, don't doubt her to be very kind hearted. She is doing it just because Bubbles has done something similar and she wants to do it bigger and better than her), Joshua Cohen (Who is participating just because her girlfriend wants that. Only two Hindi songs he knows are "Bombay Meri Jaan" and "Jana Gana Man"). Well there are other characters also and they keep on adding to the funny element.

The whole movie is about the contest and how each one tries to win the same. Every scene has something funny and makes you laugh. The movie doesn't qualify as a great piece of art but it makes you laugh.
