Set entirely in LA County’s “Little India” against a backdrop of South Asian snack shops, fancy-goods stores, sari palaces, Indian pizza restaurants, and populated by revolutionaries, Kannada Kutta drama groups, Indian entrepreneurs, H1B techies and wannabe hip-hop artists. Four Samosas tells the story of Vinny, an un-motivated Indian-American rapper, who learns that his ex-girlfriend, who he never really got over, is about to get married. So Vinny decides to launch an ill-advised heist on her father’s grocery store, to steal her dowry and disrupt her engagement.
Post-film Q&A with filmmaker Ravi Kapoor, and actors Venk Potula, Sharmita Bhattacharya, Nirvan Patnaik, and Sonal Shah!
"A visually kinetic treat, Four Samosas will be hilariously personal for some, but enjoyably bonkers for all" - Peter Gray, AU Review
