A farcical, high-energy comedy built on physical mishaps and escalating chaos at a Hollywood party, driven by misunderstanding and slapstick rather than malice.

Hrundi V. Bakshi, an accident-prone actor from India, is accidentally put on the guest list for an upcoming party at the home of a Hollywood film producer. Unfortunately, from the moment he arrives, one thing after another goes wrong with compounding effect.
