Childhood Friends: Ramakant and Lalu have been pals since childhood, and Lalu accompanies him to the city because of this.

The '80s: The bulk of the film is set in the '80s, and includes cultural references like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the Cold War, and Indira Gandhi. The film was also shot on Super 16mm film, giving it a more period look.

Country Mouse: Ramakant is a naive village boy thrust into the big city (Mumbai in this case).

Disappointing Older Sibling: Finally, Ramakant learns that instead of living it up in America like he has been lead to believe for years, his brother Udai is a barber in Mumbai with a side hustle of helping illegally smuggle people to the US. Learning this crushes him, and he resolves to go to America in his brother's stead; Udai goes into debt in order to finance this trip.
