Synopsis

Ooops a Desi is about Indians (Desi)living in the US on an invalid immigration status. The movie opens to a busy downtown street (in New York city). The passing pedestrians notice something very alarming. It's a Desi (Indian) holding a visible sign. Sign states "BOMB here!!!". Soon we are taken to the story that occurred before this incident. The guy with the Bomb Sign (Xavier), along with Dev do odd jobs because of their illegal immigration status in the USA. They have their own troubled past that is preventing them from returning to India. The roller-coaster begins when AJ, their roommate is mysteriously abducted to which Sonia is a witness. Because of their illegal status, Dev and Xavier along with Sonia have no option but to take matters in their own hands.
