The Party

A clumsy Indian actor, Hrundi V. Bakshi, is accidentally invited to a lavish Hollywood party thrown by a studio executive after he manages to ruin a film set. Once at the party, his well-meaning but inept attempts to navigate the social event lead to escalating chaos and comedic disaster, much to the chagrin of the hosts and other guests. Hrundi's presence inadvertently disrupts the carefully curated facade of the Hollywood elite, resulting in a night of escalating mayhem.
