FILM SYNOPSIS
IDIOT BOYS shows us through light and emotional moments that how good-hearted guys under the wrong influences loose direction and end up doing idiotic things they would not have done in the first place.
MEET SURMEET and GAURAV GOYAL (GG) are sons of two contesting politicians. Even though they are way past their student age, they are still enrolled in their area’s biggest professional college to gather votes for their parents. Election fever is on and Surmeet and GG are campaigning against each other. In the meantime both see MAHI (an N.R.I. girl from Canada) who is studying Law in the same college and get smitten by her.
Surmeet and GG try to woo Mahi in their own silly ways but she does not take their advances seriously. Instead she interacts with them as classmates in today’s age would. Surmeet and GG consider Mahi’s interaction as an advance towards them and think that Mahi is interested in having a relationship.
At a party, both Surmeet and GG approach Mahi and cross the level of decency with her. Mahi rebukes both in public, leaving them feeling insulted and frustrated. Meanwhile, both Surmeet’s and GG’s parents loose the elections and they now unite to “teach Mahi a lesson”.
Surmeet and Gaurav are not bad by heart but taking wrong advice from others and under bad influences do things that put their and Mahi’s life on a roller coaster ride!

Surmeet plays the character of Meet Surmeet in the film; an obedient son of a politician. He is carefree by nature and does not have any interest in politics.
