Film fanatic Sunny (Sharib Hashmi) is dying to act but gets turned down at every potential opportunity. A friend suggests that he take a job as an assistant director instead and he goes on assignment with an American crew shooting a commercial in a remote area of Rajasthan near the Pakistani border. Mistaken for an American, he is kidnapped by a terrorist group and spirited off to a Pakistani border village. When the inept terrorists discover their mistake, they decide to keep him hostage even though he is "not worth a sparrow's fart." The house where he is detained belongs to a Pakistani who smuggles pirated DVDs from India. Immediately, they find a common passion -- Hindi films. In this touching comedy, the outgoing and charming Sunny gets to be the actor he always wanted to be -- acting scenes from Bollywood films for the delight of the local villagers. An irrepressible optimist, he easily breaks down barriers having found a common language: the love of movies. But will that help him get back home?
