Chalo America is a comedy about the adventures of three college boys from Bombay who dream of migrating to the U.S. Young director Piyush Jha uses humor to expose the erosion of cultural values among the urban middle-class youth and the misguided yearning for everything Western. The problem is that slapstick jokes divert the film towards the television sit-com genre, and the message gets lost somewhere along the way.
