Rajesh wears a blonde wig in a shag cut, various technicolor nehru suits, and a bunch of bling. Mumtaz wears a blonde wig in a Jackie Kennedy flip 'do, various technicolor minidresses and a bunch of bling. Neither of them are all that convincing as westerners, but the bad guys are too dazzled by Rajesh's fabulous mansion and Cool Car, and Mumtaz's dance moves, to notice. And the audience doesn't care.
