Put a modern corporate type of lady against a simple everyday shopkeeper from Delhi with bad manners but a good heart and you get the story around which this movie is built. The lady hates everything about the shopkeeper but has no choice but to take his help when she finds herself on a plane that lands in Jaipur at night while they are on a flight from Mumbai to Delhi. She rents a taxi to take her to Delhi and the shopkeeper joins her in the taxi because he is also going to Delhi. The viewer might feel that she is being taken advantage of financially by the shopkeeper! The taxi driver falls asleep in the middle of the trip and refuses to go any further leaving them stranded. This leads to a few comic situations…As an example, while the shopkeeper enjoys the oil soaked parathas at the roadside dhaba, our heroine, used to ' health' food, is repulsed by it!
Lara Dutta, India's Miss Uniiverse y2k, plays the role of investment banker very well.This movie is not as funny as Hollywood movie 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' but why should it be? The background is India and it's two faces - one westernized, rich and a little spoilt and the other struggling to survive!
