Actually the film has something of the look and feel of a U.S. indie, which could make it easier for some audiences to identify with. Four kids embark on a trip to the Himalayas, not in search of enlightenment but a mythic drug called M Cream. Three of them are from rich families and one is a working photographer. In a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas voice, an off-screen narrator affectionately celebrates "my generation, a wretched blob of uppers and downers."
The prelude to the trip is a mega-party on the lawn of a mansion, where the camera weaves through dancers and local fashionistas. Sitting on the grass getting wasted is Shah as the character Figs(short for Figaro - Mom loved opera), almost hidden behind his mop of hair. There he gets into his first snide argument with the lovely but straight Jay(Ira Dubey), a law student who takes the Free Tibet movement seriously. He doesn’t. He smokes ganja and guzzles liquor with his girl pal Maggie(Auritra Ghosh), a self-centered size 0 socialite who’s dating - and bedding - handsome photographer Niz(Raaghav Chanana). The next day they’re out of hash, and somebody suggests they go to the mountains in Maggie’s jeep in pursuit of M Cream.("One puff and you’re gone.")
