PlotHrundi V. Bakshi, a bumbling Indian actor, is mistakenly invited to an exclusive Hollywood party after being blacklisted for accidentally ruining a big-budget film. The opulent residence of the party's host, Fred Clutterbuck, quickly becomes a playground for Hrundi's innocent yet catastrophic misadventures. As Hrundi tries to fit in with the glamorous crowd, his clumsy actions create a series of awkward and comical scenarios, much to the growing frustration and amusement of the guests.
Amidst chaotic incidents involving an out-of-control foam machine, a painted elephant, and culinary mishaps, Hrundi forms a charming bond with aspiring actress Michele Monet. As the party spirals into pandemonium, Hrundi's genuine demeanor and good-hearted nature endear him to some of the extravagantly dressed guests. The night continues with escalating hilarity as Hrundi's antics lead to a crescendo of chaos, leaving a lasting impression on everyone involved.
