Rajat Kapoor and Vinay Pathak star in director Sagar Ballary's outrageous tale of an arrogant music industry executive whose plan to bring an idiot to dinner goes hilariously awry. Ranjeet Thadani may be handsome and wealthy, but he's also an insufferable jerk who's grown decidedly bored as of late. In order to keep things interesting, Ranjeet and the rest of his friends host a weekly dinner in which one person brings along a complete moron for the entertainment of the others. This week Ranjeet has hit the jackpot: His guest Bharat Bhushan is an imbecile of epic proportions, and will no doubt prove a valuable source of entertainment for the evening. Unfortunately, Ranjeet injures his back on the evening of the dinner, forcing him to spend the evening alone with Bharat. Now, as Bharat does his best to help his new "friend" win back his wife, Ranjeet once-comfortable life becomes an endless series of small scale disasters. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
