Further details
Kenny Gupta is late for work and the streets are blocked with crowds arriving for a religious festival. His cab driver, Sunil, finds a way through by driving like a maniac. Today is the day that Kenny is launching a new service for drivers in the UK. It's goes well, then not so well, and then it's a disaster.
Meanwhile, Terri has nowhere to live. So, out of an act of Indian hospitality, Dev offers her accommodation at his house. Terri tells Dev's family that she is his boss and this causes Dev to be ridiculed at home. By the end of the night, Terri finds herself sleeping in a bed with three of Dev's relatives.
Kenny is surprised that he is jealous of Terri staying at Dev's house. But when he finds out that there is no relationship between the two, he comes up with a plan to help both Dev and Terri out of their unfavorable predicaments.
Later, back at the call centre, another UK traffic caller challenges Kenny, Dev and Terri to think on their feet to avoid disaster. They rise to the challenge with some help from the taxi-driving-maniac Suil and Terri accepts Kenny's offer of a place to stay.
