Synopsis

Iyer in Arabia

The film follows a family's journey to the Middle East. Sreenivasa Iyer is an orthodox Brahmin who strongly clings to his traditional beliefs. His wife, Jhansi Rani, on the other hand, is a history professor and an atheist. Their son, Rahul, a straightforward and practical young man, travels to the Middle East for a job. Iyer later discovers that his son is involved with a girl from a different religion and intends to marry her. Determined to stop the relationship, Iyer travels to the Middle East with his wife. However, a series of incidents there opens his eyes to a completely different world and gradually forces him to confront and reconsider his regressive beliefs. The mistakes Iyer makes in both thought and action during the trip are portrayed with sarcasm throughout the film.
