A Nice Indian Boy

De zachtaardige dokter Naveen (Karan Soni) weet het zeker: Jay (Jonathan Groff) is de ware. Hij is grappig, creatief en... wit. Als Naveen eindelijk zijn zelfverzekerde vriend aan zijn traditionele Indiase ouders voorstelt, barst een strijd los tussen verwachtingen, cultuur en ware liefde. Want hoewel zijn familie zijn geaardheid accepteert, is dit de eerste keer dat ze ermee worden geconfronteerd. Jay, die als baby werd geadopteerd door Indiase ouders, wil niets liever dan samen met Naveen een grote Bollywoodbruiloft. Maar hoe vier je liefde als niemand het eens is over wat dat betekent?

Naveen Gavaskar is a self-effacing, soft-spoken doctor. The Gavaskars are outwardly accepting of Naveen's sexuality but have never had to confront it in practice. While at temple, Naveen meets Jay Kurundkar, a white man adopted by two Indian parents. They fall in love, even as Naveen avoids telling his family about Jay. One afternoon, they run into Naveen's brother-in-law and an embarrassed Naveen describes Jay as a "friend". The encounter precipitates a discussion in which Naveen admits that he, like Jay, dreams of having a big Indian wedding. Now, Jay, who has no family of his own, must meet the Gavaskars; Naveen's family. This causes a collision between the family, Jay-who has his own insecurities and Naveen, caught between who he is with his family and who he is outside of it. After comic misunderstandings, frank fights, and emotional revelations, the family falls apart, questioning everything. Naveen and Jay's hard-won love makes each of the Gavaskars face the reality of their own relationships. And through a sweetly woven reconciliation, they come together again to plan Naveen and Jay's own big, Indian wedding.
