FOUR SAMOSAS drops us into the world of wannabe rapper VINNY (Venk Potula) as he discovers that his fatalistic ex-girlfriend RINA (Summer Bishil) is now engaged to a goat-shit recycler named SANJAY (Karan Soni), Vinny decides to disrupt her future wedding by stealing her dowry diamonds from her father’s grocery store. Crewing up with an actor who longs to go to Bollywood, a resourceful do-gooding newspaper editor and a malcontent immigrant engineer, Vinny and his gang somehow pull off the heist despite their obvious ineptitude. But will the theft get Vinny and Rina back together again or lead to more misery? And will Vinny ever finish a song? Set entirely in LA’s “Little India” in a world of sari places, curry restaurants, Indian amateur-dramatic groups and South-Asian revolutionaries, FOUR SAMOSAS is a love letter to all the “Little India’s” around the world, and a celebration of re-discovering your voice and finding your crew. Director / writer Ravi Kapoor (MISS INDIA AMERICA) joins us for a lively conversation on the inspiration for his scattershot comedy about acculturation, youthful exuberance, family, Artesia, love and assembling a fantastic cast of talented actors, led by a breakout performance from Venk Potula.
