Review: The story is set in 2006 when the American President George Bush is to visit India and expresses his desire to shake hands with one Indian. A PR agency is hired to find an eligible candidate, runs a nationwide hunt and shortlists six, who then battle it out as the face of new India, to meet the President. <o:p></o:p>

The characters - Maya Roy (Konkona Sen Sharma), a novelist and a divorcee with feminist philosophies, Kapil Dev (Anand Tiwari), a hard core stock-broker, Rohit Seth (Vivek Gomber), an accent trainer deported from the US for being an illegal immigrant, Ramesh S (Namit Das), a gay geek from Bangalore, Ajay Karlekar (Satchit Puranik), a dhoti kurta fundamentalist and Archana Kapoor (Ira Dubey), the beauty with no brains daughter of a cosmetic giant, exemplify their unique traits in their quest to meet the Prez. <o:p></o:p>

As the six compete with each other with nonsensical rounds, the light and witty dialogues and humorous acting reveal their idiosyncrasies. Outright hilarious tongue-in-cheek gags with a funny script will leave you in splits for the complete one and a half hours.u00a0 Watch the movie to find out who finally gets to shake those hands.u00a0 <o:p></o:p>

Although the film is based on a play, it still deserves all the applause for its cinematic adaptation. And like any drama would, The President is Coming too relies a great deal on the performances of the characters, with each one emerging crisp and clear, sans the song, dance and all the dragging and beating around the bush.<o:p></o:p>
