Ramji Londonwaley focuses on the trials and tribulations of a small town cook from a remote town in Bihar (R.Madhavan), who lands up in the alien western culture of London. Soon, his dignity is ripped apart and Ramji is on the streets of London. With limited knowledge of language to communicate and without an idea of what to do next, his life seems to have taken a terrible down turn. But, Ramji with his rural charm, earthy wisdom and pure-as-gold heart manages to turn the tide.

Ramji Londonwaley is one of the first films produced as a result of the UK's 'Bollywood Initiative', which allows British investment in Bollywood cinema. The scheme was introduced by MATV, Leicester, in association with CEE (I) TV Entertainment UK Limited and Motion Pictures Partners International. The scheme has been supported by the Rt. Hon Patricia Hewitt MP, and has made a vast difference to the perception of Bollywood in the UK, allowing British investment to soar.

R. Madhavan, one of India's most promising actors and star of celebrated films such as Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein and Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar, performs the part of Ramji Londonwaley. His talent in South India is unrivalled and he has the distinction of being the only actor to be repeated by veteran filmmaker Mani Ratnam. The film also stars former anchor on the Disney Channel India and budding actress Samita Bangargi (Shaadi Ka Ladoo, Yeh Kya Ho Raha Hai) and a 'melting-pot' of other stars including Satish Shah, Brtiish Asian actor Ameet Chana, and much-loved stars from Laggan Raj Zutshi, Akhilendra Mishra, Aditya Lakhia and Daya Shankar Pandey.

He was also the Chief Assistant Director for Lagaan and the only Indian amongst the six finalists to be invited to Singapore for the Super Pitch 2002, an Asian competition for creative concepts in Film and Television. Renowned producer-director-actor Kamal Hassan, who starred in the blockbuster South Indian version of the film, has written the story.
