About Chalo America
Three college boys think that everything American is fabulous; everything Indian is backward. Determined to get to America, they cook up one hair-brained scheme after another to get the all-important 'letter of sponsorship' from America.
Directed by Piyush Jha, Chalo America leans on a strong ensemble — Deven Bhojani, Mandar Shinde, Aashish Chaudhary — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1999.
