He eventually finds a good suitor for her, and then he has to shell out dowry for the groom's family, where the marriage is arranged and preparations made.
Jai Kapoor, Guru's cunning lawyer friend, explains that the only way out is marriage to a British citizen and suggests Ramji marry his own girlfriend Samira.
Ramji reluctantly agrees for a "fake" marriage with Jai's girlfriend Samira, and they get married over the weekend inside a church (so that paperwork comes faster), and he converts to Christianity as Robert.
The lady explains how Jai had promised her so many things and then suddenly deserted her and her son—for which she will seek revenge on him for abandoning his family.
Unfortunately, in their final interview with the consulate, Ramji answers more than he is asked at the immigration office, then is forced to return to India (due to being an illegal worker).
Ramji Londonwaley is a remake of the Tamil film Nala Damayanthi (2003) written by Kamal Haasan, starring R. Madhavan in the lead role.
