Straight Pre-release Review
"Straight" unfolds the story of a London-based Indian - Pinu (Vinay Pathak). He is the successful owner of "Gaylord", a restaurant located in central London. Simple though, he suffers from an inferiority complex. One of the main reasons behind this is the fact that he hasn't lost his virginity till date. He often finds himself laughed at, by the people. Being an introvert, he doesn't have any real friends and seeks friendship from his loving brother - Rajat (Siddhartha Makkar). Although he often lands himself in trouble because of Pinu, Rajat is fond of his brother, as he finds him very funny.

Being an introvert, he doesn't have any real friends and seeks friendship from his loving brother - Rajat (Siddhartha Makkar). Although he often lands himself in trouble because of Pinu, Rajat is fond of his brother, as he finds him very funny.
Life becomes interesting for Pinu, when Kamlesh (Anuj Chaudari) and Renu (Gul Panag) enter his life. Kamlesh approaches Pinu to hire him as a stand-up comedian at the restaurant. After denying initially, Pinu appoints him as a cook at his restaurant, allowing him to perform his stand-up acts in the evening. Meanwhile, Renu is appointed as the cashier of the restaurant. Passionate about the art of caricature, she makes interesting caricatures for customers, increasing the popularity of the restaurant further. Life goes on smoothly and becomes more dramatic for Pinu, who gels with Kamlesh & Renu and even hangs out a bit with them, bringing about a change in his introvert personality.
The twist in the tale of "Straight" comes when Pinu discovers another fear in his life - the assumption that he might be Gay! To prove that his latest fear is baseless, he seeks Rajat's aid. On the latter's advise, Pinu starts a search of available women, with whom he can undertake sexual rendezvous. While on the "mission", Pinu encounters a rampage, which unfolds a series of tragicomic situations. He feels humiliated and finds himself being laughed at. "Straight" is the comical story of Pinu, who struggles with his fears and complexes. To know whether Pinu "comes out" as straight or not, go and watch the movie!
