Vikram (Ashutosh Gowariker) arrives in San Francisco from Bombay and learns that his visa will only be valid for one month. Furthermore, his sponsor has left town, so Vikram must live in a bad part of the city taking on menial jobs as he awaits a decision on his application for college. When he meets ditsy, redhead Sue (Heidi Carpenter), the two bond, and Vikram thinks of making his stay permanent. A good treatise on culture clashes as well as a fun film.
