- Synopsis
- Lucky Fish follows the story of Sanjay Pillay, the
  struggling owner of Pillay's Pilchards, a business
  facing financial ruin. After his sister, Samantha, is fired
  from her job as a beauty pageant manager for being
  too inclusive, Sanjay suggests she create her own
  inclusive beauty pageant, with Pillay's Pilchards as the
  sponsor. Samantha assembles a group of
  unconventional contestants, much to Sanjay’s dismay,
  as he worries about the impact on his brand.
  As Sanjay navigates the chaos of organizing the
  pageant at his fish canning factory while avoiding
  debt collectors, he embarks on a personal journey.
  Initially trying to shape the contestants into his
  outdated ideals of beauty, Sanjay eventually realizes
  that beauty exists in all forms, and each woman is
  beautiful as she is.
  Lucky Fish is a comedic yet heartfelt story about
  body positivity, changing perceptions of beauty, and
  female empowerment. Set in Phoenix, it offers a fresh
  perspective on the Indian community and explores
  themes of progressive inclusivity, highlighting how
  outdated beliefs must evolve in a changing world.
