Ramji (played by Madhavan),an excellent cook from an Indian village, takes a job in London to pay his sister's dowry. When he reaches London, disaster strikes and he finds himself with no identification and no job. He finds help from new friends, and forges an unexpected relationship with a London girl, Samira (Samita Bangargi,) who is his opposite in every way.

This is a cute, feel-good movie somewhat based on Hollywood's 1990 movie Green Card. Madhavan is a good actor and his portrayal of the sweet, naive, and honorable Ramji is well done. Samita Bangargi is not as convincing, and their chemistry was unexceptional. The songs were just average, but incidental music was effective. Overall, while it's not particularly memorable, Ramji Londonwaley is entertaining, and at times moving, mainly due to Madhavan's strong performance.

This is the story of Ramji a simpleton who stays with his sister Parvati after their parents expired. He is a tremendous cook and is a master of all art of cooking. He arranges his sisters marriage promising a lot of dowry as asked. But then he is unable to arrange the dowry and promises to his sister's father-in-law to arrange the dowry soon. One of the guest in the wedding is so pleased with his cooking that he arranges a job for him in UK. Ramji though is not interested to go, but has to go for arranging the dowry for her sister. Upon reaching UK he finds that the person who had employed him has died and his family members doesn't need his service anymore. He is handed over a ticket back to his village in India and is thrown out of their house. But he has got a job to complete. Arranging dowry for his sister.

He lost all his papers and must find a job before being thrown out of the country. He does find an Indian Guru who employ him as a cook in his hotel. Guru is more happy when he finds that his handicapped son is also fond of Ramji and he decides to keep him and arranges his marriage so that all his papers can be made. The marriage is supposed to be a 3 month's marriage after which Samira will divorce Ramji after his papers are made. He goes to stay with Samira in her house with her grand mother. Staying there slowly they call in love with each other. Ramji applies for a cookery competition and wins the first prize that gives him the much needed money for her sister and opening a restaurant for himself and comes back to India to fulfil his dreams.

This was a fun, entertaining, emotional movie and all those aspects work together to make it memorable. This is the type of movie that made me fall in love with Indian cinema and more movies like this, serve as enjoyable reminders! The ending came as a very pleasant surprise that made me laugh!! Perfect!
