The most obvious model for this sweet, low-budget production is Christopher Guest's Best in Show ... except with desis instead of doggies.

The movie maintains a nice balance between affection for its fame-seekers and sharp jokes at their expense.
11/07/08
The zany incomprehensibility of the title should serve as fair warning of the quirkfest to come.
11/06/08
The more you know about Bollywood clichés, desi neuroses and Indian-on-Indian stereotypes, the funnier you’ll find Acharya’s merciless in-jokes.
09/11/08
Joins show-time antics to sociocultural commentary without reducing its characters, colorful as they are, to cartoons.
09/12/08
It's frightfully formulaic, with nary a twist or turn on the patented mockumentary form.
11/07/08
... there's more than enough entertainment and self deprecation to fill theatres everywhere.
10/21/08
An uninspired cultural comedy with a few sharp lines to recommend it.
11/07/08
The concept is witty even if many jokes fall flat or are incomprehensible to outsiders, and it's an interesting angle on the inclusive ideal pitted against ethnic authenticity.
03/20/09
The cast is personable even though their characters and the story are cliched.
