Chief ki Daawat is one of the legendary writer Bhishm Sahni's most famous stories.
A humble Indian official invites his chief, an American, to his house for dinner. The low-ranked official believes that if his boss is impressed by his hospitality, he would surely grant him the long due promotion. The man and his wife turn the house upside down to make it spic and span for the party. But, according to them the man's elderly, illiterate, and unkempt mother is an eyesore. Will they be successful in hiding his mother from the party or will the two worlds clash?
