Vikramjeet shows the movie in a private theatre to an audience from all walks of life, takes their written opinion, and smuggles a copy to America, just in time to ensure that it is nominated for an Oscar. This is where Vikramjeet's troubles start as the Censor Board refuses to grant a [[U certificate (India)|U certificate]].
