Movie: Indian Cowboy (2007)

Producer and Director: Nikhil Kamkolkar
CAST: Sheetal Sheth, Jonathan Sale, Deep Katdare, Sundra Oakley and Nikhil Kamkolkar

In this romantic comedy with a desi twist, three love stories interweave to explore the idea of true love in today's contemporary society.

About the Story: A tongue-in-cheek exploration of "true love", Indian Cowboy is a story about Nick, a young writer who wants to experience love at its most glorious, and with a decidedly happy ending. When he falls in love with Sapna, who believes that all stories of true love end in tragedy a la "Romeo and Juliet" or "Laila and Majnu," his quest for the perfect ending to his own love story inevitably begins!

Press Release
Thelka says: "Simbly Masala" Another nri-flavoured film is going to hit swadeshi shores soon. Indian Cowboy is Hyderabad-born Nikhil Kamkolkar’s debut feature. “It’s a romantic comedy toying with the conventions of Hollywood and Bollywood genres”, says Kamkolkar. Indian Cowboy will feature Deep Katdare, last seen in American Desi (which Kamkolkar also worked on). The music is definitely worth writing home about. Kamkolkar says the film is intended to be “fairly mtvish, using songs as a prominent background score”. Genres used go from pop, rock, trip hop to Asian massive, and strong beat-based tracks. No dance sequences or “item numbers” here, yet he insists the movie will retain the “Bollywood flavour”.
