John Reis called it "a stunning visual and narrative feast"[4] while Variety said it is "a happily transgressive rhyme-fueled romp".

His choice of hairstyle (shaved nearly bald) and general proclivity to drugs and rap make him an object of ridicule with most of his peers, who mock him as 'Egghead Gandu'.

His loneliness is dispelled when he literally bumps into 'Ricksha', a cycle rickshaw driver, who slaps Gandu and then scares him off by a bizarre show of kung fu.

Gandu comes back to Kolkata to find that he has won the Bhutan State lottery of fifty thousand rupees; then he gives his mother some of the money and goes on a crack binge with Ricksha.

Gandu then has surrealistic and very explicit sex with an unnamed hooker, who constantly meows and at the end of coitus whispers 'demo' to him.

Gandu goes back to Ricksha telling him how he will now record a demo of his rap and show it to the Asian Dub Foundation.
