Synopsis
Rustom ('Rusy') Deboo, a member of the Indian Parsi community, dotes over his impossibly adorable son, Kayoze ('Kayo'). The latter has a passion for cricket, which his grandfather (Rusy's father), Behram, tries to discourage, since he believes that Kayo is merely chasing a dream. When an opportunity arises for Kayo to attend a cricket camp at Lord's, Rusy feels that he must come up with the high participation fee. A chance of earning this money leads to Rusy, whose life has hitherto been based on strict honesty, stealing a Ferrari. The rest of the plot becomes rather tangled as Rusy tries to obtain the money he needs whilst avoiding fallout from various unusual characters, including a shady local politician and his unhinged son.

Along the way, there are a few songs, some of which are moderately catchy. Yes... it's Bollywood!
