Movie: A mishap-laden, cross-cultural tale about the search for the American dream.
A young Indian dance teacher named Ramu Gupta (Jimi Mistry) embarks for New York City in pursuit of fame and fortune only to find himself working as a waiter in an Indian restaurant. Desperate for an acting job, he unwittingly lands himself in a porn film, and through his encounter with a beautiful porn star (Heather Graham), and another with a wealthy young woman searching for meaning in her life (Marisa Tomeii), the shy, inexperienced Ramu is mistaken for a spiritual leader ? the Guru of Sex ? and becomes an overnight celebrity. Fame comes at a price, however, and Ramu must choose between his newfound fame and his growing love for the beautiful Sharonna.
