Synopsis

Set in the chilling winter months in Delhi, Aloo Chaat is a story of one Hindu Punjabi family as they counter their fears and apprehensions about their Muslim country mates between crispy, mouth and eye watering bites of the Dilli ki mashhoor Desi ghee ki Aloo Chaat. Nikhil(actor) falls in love with a Muslim girl(Uzma) while completing his studies in America. On his visit to India for a vacation, his parents starts showing him Punjabi girls for wedding. Knowing the temperament of his father(Purshottam),feels hesitant to disclose about his love affair, hence approaches his fathers best friend who is a sexologist Hakim) by profession and has a great influence on his father, together they plot to bring Uzma into the family. They decide to cheat the family but their intentions are noble. Hakim decides that Nikhil would tell his father that he has fallen in love with an American and wants to marry her. This would not be so much of a blow than if Nikhil were to tell him that he is in love with a Muslim girl. Hakim will advise Purushottam to invite the girl over so she gets to know the country, their culture and their family and vice versa. The American girlfriend will get her best friend along, enter Uzma, and then Uzma will have to win their hearts in the little time she gets to spend with the family (just like in DDLJ) hence proving, that an Indian is an Indian, it doesn't quite matter that she's a Muslim because she understands relationships the way they do and holds them in the esteem and high regard necessary, which a gori will just not. It's decided, and the plan is put to action. The drama begins. Ten days into it, the family seems to be warming up to the idea of an Indian rather than a foreigner.
