The President is Coming (Kapur, 2009)

[suresh]

In 2006, George W. Bush, President of the United States, visited India. In addition to the many diplomatic and political things on the agenda was a rather unique event — a meeting with one of the young faces responsible for shaping "The New India". The six contestants are Maya Roy India's best young Writer, Ajay Karlekar India's best young Social Activist, Archana Kapoor India's best young Indian Entrepreneur, Rohit Seth Call Center Accent Trainer, Kapil Dev Dholakia India's best young Stock Investor, Ramesh S Software Engineer. Maya Roy (Konkona Sen Sharma) is one of the 6 contestants in the talent contest, who will stop at nothing to be the person to represent New India in front of the visiting US President, George Bush. They have to undergo bizarre test and activities to top the list  (wikipedia)

Not me...

It sounds awfully a lot like a 1994 Egyptian movie called The Visit of The President about Nixon's visit to Egypt in the 70's and its effect on a small town where the train was supposed to stop. It was an excellent black comedy.

any reviews on this?

Watched it over the weekend and very disappointing. The concept was really good but the execution was horrendous. They didnt know how to handle the whole President is Coming to India theme. Konkona Sen Sharma is good as always but nothing to shout home about.

A strictly average fare which can be skipped.
