"Four Samosas" is a "lo-fi heist movie"

Four Samosas (IFC Films)

Ravi Kapoor's "Four Samosas" is an amusing heist comedy set in Artesia, California, (aka Little India) about Vinny (Venk Potula) a would-be rapper still dejected from his girlfriend Rina (Summer Bishil of "The Magicians"), breaking up with him three years ago. When he learns that Rina is now engaged to Sanjay (Karan Soni), Vinny hatches a plan to rob Rina's father, Mr. Juneja (Tony Mirrcandani), of the possibly dirty diamonds he keeps in a safe in the grocery store he owns.

To achieve his goal, Vinny enlists the assistance of his Bollywood-loving friend Zak (Nirvan Patnaik), Anjali (Sharmita Bhattacharya), the editor and publisher of "The Great Little Indian Times," and Paru (the scene-stealing Sonal Shah), an undocumented student. Trouble, and comedy, of course, ensue as the four inexperienced thieves try to execute their plan.
