While this film’s explicit goal is to inform movie-goers about the plight of Indian farmers driven to suicide because of their extreme poverty, the farmers get second billing to five wealthy medical students who spend their month-long rural internships doing everything they can to get back to civilization. When the brats finally decide to help the farmers after a series of bizarre, violent events, they do so by returning to the city to stage a PR campaign, rather than staying in the country to provide desperately needed medical services. Summer 2007 falls well short of accomplishing its goal.
