The story is about the confused sexuality of the central character Pinu Patel, played absolutely to the galleries by Vinay Pathak. Straight picks up from where 'Dostana' left and weaves a comic tale around a motely group of Gujrati NRIs in London.

In the midst of central London is a successful Indian restaurant called 'Gaylord' run by a Londoner of Indian origin called Pinu. A simple soul at heart, Pinu has many complexes - a special one being that he is a virgin and has experienced no intimacy with a woman. To top that, his biggest fear is to be laughed at by people. an ever-repeated phenomenon with him.

Pinu is quite an introvert and has no real friends.the closest he has ever gotten to a friendship is with his foster brother Rajat, who is quite a contrast to his own personality -A casual air about him, he is the lead singer of a rock band. Rajat is very fond of Pinu, though Pinu often is a source of annoyance to him as he finds Pinu really funny.

One day, a young Indian Kamlesh comes to his restaurant seeking a job as a stand-up comedian. Quite thrown off, Pinu initially refuses but finally lets him join as a cook, who also does a stand-up act in the evenings. On the same day, he hires a new cashier - Renu, a young arts student from India, who has a passion for caricatures. Life changes dramatically for Pinu as Gaylord begins to transform.

Renu works on the look of the place, makes cheerful caricatures for customers while Kamlesh is a fabulous cook with a great talent for making people laugh at his acts and soon the restaurant becomes a more happening place and the business is much better. But the greatest difference they bring to his life is friendship. There is a visible difference in Pinu's personality now as he lets himself hang out a bit with them.

One fine day, Pinu is thrown in to a daze as he walks away from the restaurant .he has discovered a totally new fear - that he might be Gay!!

Pinu seeks refuge on Rajat's advice which is quite simply - screw a woman!

On a mission now, Pinu goes on a rampage seeking available women for a sexual rendezvous. However, it leads to him suffering another string of tragicomic situations, ending up feeling humiliated.and laughed at! 'Straight!!' is a funny tale about Pinu, who struggles with himself, his fears and his complexes, to 'come out' as straight and find himself a love story.

So people come March 2009, get set to go on a fun ride with Pinu and his team.
