DELILAH WHO????? That's exactly what the passengers on a rinky dink Hollywood tour bus ask when their Indian driver, Bhuvan Bannerji, pulls up in front of Delilah's house. Reclusive scream queen Delilah Leigh hasn't made a movie in over twenty-five years. Still, to young, naive Bhuvan, she's every bit the star; so much so that he makes daily stops in hopes of catching a glimpse of her. Finally, after weeks of hiding, Delilah makes a grand entrance onto her porch and blows kisses to Bhuvan's yawning busload. But Bhuvan is convinced that her kisses are meant for him and no one else. A wannabe filmmaker with aspirations of working in India's Tinseltown, Bollywood, Bhuvan is so love struck that he writes a comeback vehicle for Delilah called "The Great Lady," a tribute to all those campy horror movies of the 1960s that reheated the careers of such veteran divas as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. In grand Sunset Boulevard style, Delilah - and her frumpy assistant, Delia - soon take the fledgling writer under their wings. But these "Great Ladies" aren't exactly who they say they are. Delia is actually Delilah and Delilah is actually Delilah's cross-dressing son, Devin! Confused? So is Bhuvan! And by the time the little charade is discovered, Devin has fallen head-over-high heels for Bhuvan. BUT THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING!!! These star-crossed dudes are in for one surprise after the next, because Bhuvan has stopped his bus at the most romantic cross street in Hollywood...BOLLYWOOD AND VINE! - Edward Jordon |
