Made In China's script is based on Ahmedabad-born, LA-based writer Parinda Joshi's novel. And sure, they get Ahmedabad right. As they do China, where lead character goes looking for business ideas.

As any filmmaker between shades of Martin Scorsese to Madhur Bhandarkar will tell you, great casting is half the film done. Sure. But it's only in a movie like this, which is a leap of faith almost bordering on parody, that you realise how absolutely amazing the actors onboard are, to pull this off, oh so smoothly.
And this starts right from lead actor Rajkummar Rao (who's originally from Gurgaon) playing a middle-class, Gujarati serial-entrepreneur, with a series of failed businesses; married to a gorgeous woman (Mouni Roy), seemingly out of his league, given his Old Ahmedabad shirt-pant-moustache look, and a generally tentative demeanour. A false note here (or there)—and this character could fall flat into a spoof.
