Desi Boyz is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama directed by Rohit Dhawan. The film navigates the impact of the 2008–2011 global financial recession on the British-Indian middle class. It blends social commentary on economic vulnerability with commercial Bollywood tropes, including slapstick comedy, male bonding, and item numbers. The central narrative follows two friends who lose their jobs and resort to working as male escorts ("desi boyz") to make ends meet, ultimately exploring themes of dignity, friendship, and redemption.
