The pretext of this film is about a competition held by the “United States Consolate in India, Mumbai” in which the winner gets the meet and shake hands with the touring president of USA, Mr. George Bush. After preliminary auditions, six mavericks are chosen as finalists who are young and wizards in their own specialized domains. They are Maya Roy (Journalist & Writer), Archana Kapoor (Successful Entrepreneur), Kapil Dev (A Psycho Stock Broker), Ajay Karlekar (A Socialite With A Sectarian Attitude), Srinivas (A gay mathematician) and Rohit (A united states returned voice accent trainer). These six are the best in their business and only one of them would be entitled to enter-mingle with the “most powerful man on earth”. The competition begins in a witty and satirical fashion where points are being imparted in every round (17 of them) and the highest point grocer is to be evaluated as the numero uno. Ajay Karlekar is the first one to be disqualified on grounds of obscenity, followed by Srinivas. Rohit sacrifices his chance to provide Archana a game, (Rohit loves Archana) but Archana realizes that love is more important than the pathos of penny and quits the game to join Rohit. They ward off and marry later. The two finalists Maya and Kapil try to over power each other by every amoral (sometimes immoral) way on globe but Kapil gets caught while bribing Rita Johnson, the assistant HR of the contest. As a result he’s thrown out of the contest by the cliptomaniac HR Samantha. Maya emerges to be the undisputed winner. But at the final hour Samantha discovers her to be an undercover agent trying to assassinate George Bush. A chaos concludes and finally the security guard Md. Aslam is selected as the “prized person” by Rita Johnson. Samantha leaves the practice of an HR and moves on to yield organic vegetables down the hills.
