Kal Penn's Kumar Patel is perhaps the most popular portrayal of Desi youth in a major motion picture (he played a foreign student in the National Lampoon movies, not an AB Desi). Yes the movie was bad awful in a lot of places, but we do remember Freakshow's [Swedish] wife?

Anyway, Harold & Kumar are both coming back next year for part deux. The first sneak preview is attached to Superbad, which is another comedy that we strongly recommend. Here's the synopsis we found on movie's Wiki entry:

The premise of the movie involves Kumar Patel, the Indian American protagonist of the original film, being mistaken for a 'bomb carrying terrorist' while the pair are trying to sneak a bong on board a plane en route to Amsterdam. They are incarcerated in a Guantanamo Bay detainment camp but manage to escape.

The movie follows their adventures as fugitives from the Department of Homeland Security as they travel through Miami to Texas and ultimately find themselves in the ranch-house of President George W. Bush.
