Yusuf (Dileep Rao)’s Timeline and Summary

Yusuf (Dileep Rao)’s Timeline and Summary

  • Yusuf is hanging out in Mombasa, making his own sedatives for people to dream soundly with.
  • We learn he actually houses many people in his sketchy basement who dream every day.
  • When Cobb proposes the job to him he is intrigued by the idea of going three levels deep and so he signs on.
  • He plans with the rest of the gang and then jumps into the first dream when the time comes.
  • The first dream is his and it's raining because he was drinking a bit too much of that airplane champagne.
  • After the group makes it to the safe house and goes into their second dream, Yusuf stays in order to buy them time as Fischer's projections are still coming after them.
  • He drives around a lot and somehow avoids all their gunfire as all of the van windows are broken.
  • Then he gets stranded on a bridge (never drive on a bridge Yusuf, come on: that's action movie 101).
  • Because he isn't much of a shot, his only choice is to kick early, which then makes everyone miss the kick because they weren't ready.
  • Not to worry. It seems the van can actually drive forward in the air and so it takes a very long time for it to fall.
  • When it finally does, everyone is kicked back to the first dream level and Yusuf can tell them about that time he totally did like a seven-twenty in the car and landed on his wheels. It was pretty dope.
  • Of course he wakes up in the plane with everyone else (and probably heads to the bathroom).
