Aloo Chaat is a Bollywood romantic comedy starring Aftab Shivdasani, Aamna Sharif, Linda Arsenio, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sanjai Mishra, and Manoj Pahwa. The film is directed by Robbie Grewal, whose previous work includes films like Samay: When Time Strikes and MP3 – Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar.

Aloo Chaat is the story of Nikhil (Aftab Shivdasani) who returns to his Punjabi household in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi from America after completing his education. His family consists of his orthodox father Purushottam (Kulbhushan Kharbanda), his grandmother Beeji (Dolly Ahluwalia), his confused mother Seeto (Meenakshi Sethi) and an always suspicious uncle Chhadami Mama (Sanjai Mishra). Nikhil refuses to marry any girl his parents show him, which has them worried about their son's orientation. In reality, Nikhil is in love with Aamna (Aamna Sharif), a Muslim girl living in America.

Nikhil knows that his orthodox father will never allow him to marry a girl from another religion. With the help of a family friend who is a sexologist by occupation Hakim (Manoj Pahwa), he devises a plan of telling his father that he wants to marry an American girl Nikki (Linda Arsenio) who is hired by them with the help of a celebrity singer Sukha Paji who happens to be a patient of Hakim. This way they will introduce both Nikki and Aamna to the house. On one hand Nikki will exhibit all bad qualities and on the other Aamna will show all her good habits and thus impress his family. They then try many things to make Nikhil's family be impressed by Aamna.
