If you are interested in a short-duration, crisp comedy, then 'The President Is Coming' is just the movie

for you. This 90-minute theatrical comedy will entertain you thoroughly with its witty dialogues and tongue-in-cheek humor. The plot of the movie is completely character-driven, with each of the individuals having certain distinct, eccentric traits. From a divorcee novelist to nerdy software engineer to a self-center brainless daughter of a billionaire, the characters in 'The President Is Coming' provide you a lot of variety.

As the six protagonists compete with each other, to meet President Bush, we get to see their idiosyncrasies, which results in some side-splitting humor. Throughout the movie, it is the dialogues that create laughter. Right from Anubhav Pal's screenplay to Jabeen Merchant's editing to Kunaal Roy Kapur's direction, everything adds together to make 'The President Is Coming' an entertainer. There are no unnecessary characters in the movies, while the climax brings across a sensibly-handled surprise.

'The President Is Coming' is a movie that relies completely on performances. Konkana Sen Sharma, as usual, was at her very best, while Ira Dubey was perfect as the brainless rich kid. Anand Tiwari's Gujju character, Namit Das's geek look and Vivek Gomber's wannabe 'firang' attitude impressed us no end. Satchit Puranik looked like the typical social worker, while Shernaz Patel was good as the bitchy-boss and Shivani Tanksale as her mistreated colleague. All in all, it is a movie worth your 90 minutes and your 150 bucks.

'The President Is Coming' is based on two facts - The President of United States came to India and he wanted to meet one of the young faces responsible for shaping "The New India". Rest everything is fiction. Keeping the desire of the president in mind, the US Consulate hires an Indian PR agency that “knows America”. The agency is given a task - to find a young Indian who can be introduced to President Bush as the 'Face of New India'. Now, the PR agency starts a nation-wide search to find such a person.

While hunting for the 'Face of New India', the agency comes across the name of 6 Young Indians, listed in the “Top Indian Achievers Under 30”, compiled by India Today magazine, the biggest English-language weekly in India. The six candidates are made to undergo a selection procedure, comprising of bizarre tests taken in a room in the US Consulate. As the tests get tougher and the candidates resort to any means to shake hands with President Bush, the audience is exposed to side-splitting humor.
