Desi Boyz (2011)

In the bustling heart of England, we find Nikhil Mathur and Jignesh Patel - two friends living contrasting lives. Nikhil, an Investment Banker, revels in the opulence of his profession, while nurturing a romantic relationship with the idealistic Radhika Awasthi. Jignesh, on the other hand, labours as a Security Guard, shouldering the responsibility of his late sister's son, Veer. Their seemingly ordinary lives take a tumultuous turn when the global recession casts its long shadow over London. Nikhil's once flourishing career crumbles, his investments dissipating into thin air. Jignesh, too, faces the harsh brunt of the economic downturn, getting fired for a minor oversight. As the job market tightens its grip, the duo find themselves spiralling into financial despair. This leads them to the unconventional world of 'Desi Boyz', a male escort service run by the enigmatic Mr Khalnayak. As Rocco and Hunter, they find a temporary financial respite, but at a cost far greater than they anticipated. Their secret life doesn't remain hidden for long. The devastating revelation shatters Radhika's trust, prompting her to part ways with Nikhil. Concurrently, Veer is snatched from Jignesh's care by the stern social worker, Vikrant Mehra, and placed into a foster home. These events fracture their friendship, each blaming the other for their misfortunes. Nikhil's despair deepens as he watches Radhika drift into the arms of a new lover, Ajay Bapat. Set against the backdrop of a relentless recession and a society quick to stereotype, 'Desi Boyz' is a tale of two friends striving to reclaim their lives from the brink of chaos. Amidst the scornful publicity of their unconventional jobs and the racial bias they face, will Nikhil and Jignesh rise above their circumstances, or will they succumb to the harsh realities of their new lives? Their journey is a testament to friendship, resilience, and the audacity of hope in a world fraught with adversity.
