Synopsis

Bhuvan Bannerji a Hollywood tour bus driver is “straight but confused”.

Delilah Leigh, an aging, has-been scream queen who hasn’t made a film in over two decades, is the focus of his infatuation. He becomes obsessed with the idea of whisking Delilah off her feet and on to a set back home in “Bollywood”.

After writing “the greatest comeback movie of all time” a tribute to all those 1960’s horror flicks that gave new life to the careers of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, Bhuvan knocks on Delilah’s door. He meets Delilah, just as gorgeous as ever, and her assistant Delia.

The young bus driver finds himself attracted to the actress, but imagine his surprise when he realizes that “she” is really Devin, the real Delilah’s son, in drag!

Delilah attempts to help the romance along by locking Bhuvan in the attic with Devin. Throw in a nosy neighbor, some outlandish situations and a gay wedding and you’ll find that anything can happen on Bollywood and Vine!

Reviews

"This direct to video comedy does far better than its regional-theater pedigree would indicate, thanks to a clever script and some good performances. Viewers need to be told that this is not a melding of the Indian film craze with a Hollywood story, but a camp farce with plot similarities to Sunset Blvd. in a gay context.

Despite some low-budget concerns there's a lot to be appreciated here, mainly in the talent department. It fares far better than the average garage indie - I'd call it a nicely expanded version of a funny stage play, and it gets a good range of laughs - a rarity these days." - Glenn Erickson, dvdtalk.com
