The Good Ones

Jun 19, 2026

Inspired by real events. It’s 1987. Moni Sharma and Piyali Ganguli, two Indian immigrants living in New Jersey, are about to reopen Moni’s father’s Indian restaurant. Their good friend, Arjun Ghosh, has just returned from India newly married to a striking woman named Esha. All four have big dreams for themselves but live in the shadow of their fathers. Their carefully curated plans are shattered when a vigilante group that calls themselves “The Dotbusters” attack several Indian residents in the area. As the incidents mount, they’ll fight to save the struggling restaurant, as well as their fraying bonds to each other.
