| SUMMARY |
|
Life
hasn’t been too wonderful for Mo lately.
His business is
folding, his wife doesn’t want to know, and Mo is heading
for skid row fast.
But when the receivers have cleared away his
filing cabinets, he’s left with one big asset - a vast
warehouse, ideal for throwing wild rave parties.
Meet
Kabir Bedi as Mohan
Dagga, the self-proclaimed former Punjabi prize wrestler with
some slightly shady associates and a keen
eye for a good investment, even if the seed capital isn’t
quite his own.
Together with a rapper, a DJ and a dancer, a mildly
bewildered Mo will transform his cavernous company premises into
the hottest
nightspot in town, a true pleasure dome that turns out to be
a serious money-spinner -
except that, of course, is the beginning
of a new set of headaches... |
