YOU CAN'T CURRY LOVE
Directed by REID WATERER, Los Angeles, Ca.
Westernized guy Vikas has been obsessing about his straight boss Thom for years, much to best friend Amrita's displeasure. But when a business trip sends Vikas to New Delhi and he meets handsome Sunil, the desk clerk at his luxury hotel there, everything changes for him. Amazed by Sunil's sweetness and India's beauty, his initial disgust at the transfer turns into a love affair with both. When a return to London and his boss inevitably arrives, Vikas must make the most painful decision of his life. A crowd-pleasing, east-meets-west, boy-meets-boy love story... with a Bollywood twist!
