Indian culture interests Dave (Colin McGee). So he decides to work on its culture. Dave has a friend, Jack (Manish Dayal), who was born in America but has roots in India. Jack joins Dave on his project on Indian culture. Mr. Murthy, a friend of Jack's father, offers them a place to stay. Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Murthy are keen on taking Jack as their son-in-law, but noticing his American ways, they prefer a local boy, Vishal (Gopichand Lagadapati).

Mr. Murthy's daughter, Swapna, is also interested in Indian culture and hence decides to help Dave with his project.
