==Gameplay==
''Desi Adda'' consists of a collection of cultural games from India, based on traditional Indian sports. These include [[Fighter kite|kite fighting]], [[Kabaddi]], [[Pachisi]], and [[Gilli-Danda]].<ref name="indiatoday" /><ref name="siliconera" /> The player is placed in an Indian village, where they can play the different games with other villagers and converse with them.

==Plot==
The player takes the role of Avinash, the son of an [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|NRI]] businessman. Avinash has lived abroad but returns on a trip to his ancestral village.

The village head, Garjan Singh, opposes their match.<ref name="businessstandard" /> Through his interactions with villagers, Avinash helps the couple gain approval for their wedding.<ref name="bollywoodhungama" /><ref name="sony"/>

==Development==
The game was developed by [[Gameshastra]], an Indian-based developer. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe published the game, with the goal of helping keep the PlayStation 2 market in India alive.<ref name="mint" /><ref name="siliconera" /> It is the first game developed entirely in India to be released on the PlayStation Network, and included three languages. ''Desi Adda'' was designed for both home consoles and handheld devices, and oriented towards casual gaming. It was targeted towards a first-time gamer audience between the ages of 8 and 15.<ref name="businessstandard" />

==Reception==
[[Bollywood Hungama]] was critical of the bonus beat matching game, calling it a "show stopper" as the controls were not very responsive. They were more receptive towards the Gilli Danda game, saying that the unpredictability made it fun. Ultimately however, they did not feel the game was worth the price.<ref name="bollywoodhungama" /> [[ET Now]] noted that the game was very simple in terms of gameplay and graphics, and was not really appealing to gamers over the age of ten.<ref name="etnow" />
