What it's about

A young Indian man, the son of a beloved tiger hunter, comes to Chicago in 1979 on a quest for success. Trained as an engineer, Sami Malik's (DANNY PUDI) dream is initially thwarted and he must take a temporary job as a lowly draftsman in an electronics company. He moves in with several other under-employed engineers and a Pakistani chef (BABU RAHMAN) who have emigrated to the U.S. His misfit roommates concoct an elaborate farce in order for him to romance his childhood crush, Ruby Iqbal (KAREN DAVID). Sami meets Alex Womack (JON HEDED), the son of the company's head, Frank Womak (KEVIN POLLAK), who has eschewed corporate life and prefers to take Polaroid photographs of depressed persons. Alex helps Sami in his efforts to succeed, encouraging him to work on the company's biggest current project---creating a microwave oven that can properly heat frozen food without blowing up. After several failures, Sami enlists the help of his roommate engineers. They succeed in building a non-exploding microwave that also heats frozen food properly and present it to the company head, just in time for him to make a deal to manufacture it. Frank is so grateful for the help that he gives them all jobs. Sami fails to impress Ruby when she and her strict father, General Iqbal (IQBAL THEBA) visit Chicago on a tour of the U.S., but at the film's conclusion he, Alex, and Babu are seen driving to California to catch up with her and plead his case again, now that he is a gainfully employed engineer.
