In the midst of central London, a successful Indian restaurant called 'Gaylord' is run by a Londoner of Indian origin called Pinu Patel (Vinay Pathak) . A simple soul at heart, Pinu has many complexes - a special one being that even at the age of 40, he is a virgin and has never experienced intimacy with any woman. He agrees to come to India to have an arranged marriage with Payal (Snigdha Pandey), but is crest fallen when his fiancee elopes on the wedding day, leaving a note behind ridiculing Pinu and his personality. This fuels Pinu's biggest fear of being laughed at by people... an ever-repeating phenomenon with him. Pinu is quite an introvert and has no real friends...the closest he has ever gotten to a friendship is with his foster brother Rajat (Siddharth Makkar), who is quite a contrast to his own personality. A casual air about him, he is the lead singer of a rock band. Rajat is very fond of Pinu, though is often a source of annoyance to him as he finds Pinu really funny.One day, a young Indian fellow called Kamlesh comes to his restaurant and asks for a job as a stand-up comedian.

Not A Straightforward Love Story But A Delightful One
I was very impressed by
Parvati Balagopalan's 'Straight'. Set mostly in London, the story
centres around a British Indian but this is nothing like the usual
saccharine NRI love story that Yashraj production has churned out every
year by contributing to the pollution of Hindi cinema. Given the main
theme revolving around a man who is confused about his sexuality, who
experiences a clash between Indian tradition and a rather open English
culture, the story had to be set outside of India. Sexuality is an
important theme but unlike many Hindi films, 'Straight' does not mock
homosexuality. The movie is given a refreshing treatment. The film has
heart and it is told beautifully and with sincerity. The execution is
first rate. The editing, lighting, cinematography and art direction are
brilliant. Sagar Desai's music flows beautifully with the story.
Balagopalan proves to be a promising director and I would be looking
forward to her forthcoming projects. In my books, Vinay Pathak can do no
wrong and once again, he carried an entire film. This man's incredible
talent never fails to amaze me. Gul Panag is excellent. I was in love
with her character Renu and I loved that she did the movie and how she
played the part. This actress deserves more recognition. Anuj Choudhry
is likable and Sid Makkar adds some comic relief. Ketki Dave is
hilarious as always. 'Straight' is both thought-provoking and immensely
entertaining. In my humble opinion, it is the best Hindi film of 2009 so
far.
