Jaswinder is Jimmy when in Manhattan. Village belle Richa isthe sexy wife when in LA. But Out of Control, in terms of merit, is not the NRIromance that has become an Adi Chopra-Karan Johar monopoly.
Jimmy(wooden block Ritesh Deshmukh) leaves the mustard fields of Punjab for the US,where he works as a cabbie. He meets nightclub crooner Sally (
BrandeRoderick), an American, whose discomfort with Hindi matches Jimmy''s uneaseat the prospect of being kissed. He turns away in disgust before breaking intohomilies about Indian tradition.
A couple of dinners and
no sexlater, she''s in love, he''s in need (of visa extension) and they are inwedlock.
Cut to the tractors of Punjab and Mr. Wooden Block findshis match in Richa (tree stump Hrishitaa Bhatt). Forced by his father (AmrishPuri), he marries a second time and returns alone to the US into the arms of hislove.
Hell breaks loose when Richa reaches Amreeka. Jimmy pretendsto do a double work shift to justify his double life. Between some half-funnyscenes, the two wives discover each other.
