Handsome and broke, Vikram (played by Ashutosh Gowariker, director of Oscar-nominated Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001)) arrives from Bombay to find his college plans have fallen through. Exploring exotic San Francisco, he discovers and falls for Sue (Heidi Carpenter),a feisty bohemian artist. With his visa running out, Vikram resorts to desperate measures to stay in the country -- including a hilariously bungled burglary and an impromptu curbside wedding. It all ends happily with a fairy-tale dance number right out of an Indian musical. A "lost" classic from the height of the American Independent era, David Rathod's West is West will warm your heart and make you laugh out loud.
