Who knew that there could be so many silly, lovable, and down-right outrageous Indian characters staying in an indistinct, boring, middle-grade hotel in Jersey? Loins of Punjab Presents is a laugh-out-loud farce right from the start. The "Desi Idol" contest brings together Indian performers (along with one white male) to battle it out for the top prize of $25,000. The 'Idol' judges and directors include a couple eccentrics, one being a track-suited-gold-chain-wearing man with a penchant for The Gypsy Kings simply because, "it makes the gehhhrls sooo horny!" The contestants themselves include an array of pseudo-typical characters, but are luckily spun in just a way that the entertainment value isn't spoiled. A proudly gay man does his Bhangra meets b-boy shtick, a nerdy, insecure man sings just for the love, and a hapless Saddam Hussein is in the mix along with a few other contestants that carry the sub-plots. The meat of the humor comes from a few particular scenes with some witty dialogue coming from some satisfyingly stereotypical Indian-Americans taking themselves far too seriously. Just take it, embrace it, then move on.
