- DirectorKunaal Roy KapurStarsKonkona Sen SharmaShernaz PatelShivani TanksaleIn 2006, George Bush, President of The United States, visited India. In addition to the many diplomatic and political things on the agenda was a unique event: a meeting with one of the young faces responsible for shaping "The New India". This is a fact. The rest is fiction. The U.S. Consulate hires a dysfunctional PR agency that "knows America" to find one young Indian to be the face of the New India before The American President. The agency brings in 6 young Indians who have been selected by NDTV as the "top Indian achievers under 30." The winner is to be selected in a day through a round of bizarre tests that get progressively tougher in a room in the U.S. Consulate. The President will shake the winner's hand among a long line of waiting Indian luminaries the next day. Each is desperate to win and will resort to any means to do so.
