Movie description:
Ravi is a relatively ordinary boy living an upper-middle-class life – he’s obsessed with movies and having fun, while his mother believes every waking minute should be spent on school, so he can one day go to a great college and be a success (early in the film, Ravi makes a pie chart of his mother’s priorities for him: 60 percent education, 0.2 percent fun). When he and his friends find a video camera lost by an American tourist, they decide to use the opportunity to make their own movie – but they need to finish it in a week, before they sit for final exams.
Ravi’s lives his life by the pie-chart his mother defines for him – 60 percent education and only 0.2 percent – 2.9 minutes each day – for fun! When Ravi and his friends, Hamid and Onka, chance upon the camera of a visiting tourist, they see their dreams come true where they can make a Bollywood film and meet the famous actress, Ms. Ray. The path to making a film is riddled with problems: they only have 7 days to return the camera and their final exams begin in 7 days! The 7 days mark a comical journey where Ravi sets out to make a Bollywood film with his schoolmates, writes a ransom note, casts a heroine in his film, uses creative ways to keep his friends, Hamid and Onka involved in his project during the ever-stressful exam season and keeps his mother thinking that all his hard work was towards his final exams!
