02: INDIAN COWBOY: A Love-Love Story — the screenplay

Indian Cowboy is an American indie Romantic Comedy with a South Asian twist written and directed by Nikhil Kamkolkar.

Nick dreams of experiencing true love at its most glorious and with a decidedly happy ending. Unfortunately for him, the woman who enters his life, Sapna, believes that true love always leads to a tragic end. Just like in Romeo and Juliet or their Indian counterparts, Laila and Majnu. So when these star-crossed lovers meet and fall for each other, the quest for a mutually compatible ending to their love story begins!

Featuring exciting new music by South Asian artists including Karsh Kale, Alms For Shanti, Karyshma with Falu, and Kam Dhillon.”Indian Cowboy” brings together a diverse and exciting cast including the indie star Sheetal Sheth, Deep Katdare from the hit “American Desi”, and Sundra Oakley (Survivor).

Indian Cowboy is Nikhil Kamkolkar’s debut film, and this screenplay is what went into production. The movie changed significantly from this screenplay during the production and editing process (“another rewrite!”, says Kamkolkar).
