Ten year-old camel boy, Nanhe has a dream that dominates his young life: to meet his idol, his ‘dost’ (friend), the aging Bollywood screen actor, Bobby Deol.
The dry vistas of Rajasthan are a stark contrast to the vivid movie posters on Nanhe’s walls and the bright world of his imagination. As sole breadwinner for his family, he only escapes the hardships of life through his fantasies. With the help of his sister, Suman, he writes to Bobby every day; sharing his news, his battles and triumphs with his ‘friend’.
How will Nanhe’s life be transformed should he actually meet his idol?
A charming story about the strength of childhood imagination and the power of friendship, this movie brings an original approach to a Bollywood tale.
