A laugh-out-loud story of a dysfunctional Punjabi family in the pressure cooker life of a terraced suburban home in Slough. Newly arrived from India, naive Simmy has come to marry the family’s eldest son Raj, who shockingly does a runner, leaving Simmy locked in the house by her domineering mother-in-law. However, Simmy is smarter than she appears, and soon enlists the support of the family’s disgruntled in-laws, including a sugar crazed, diabetic grandpa and dangerous, but hot, brother in law, fresh out of jail. Together they plan Simmy’s big escape.

Cath Clarke Guardian It’s a film very much in the tradition of sitcom-ish Brit movies: the comedy painted in broad strokes, warm-hearted but with an unmistakable air of naffness. Rated: 3/5 Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) The film’s general air of low-budget soapiness is hard to ignore, but the good intentions and cheerful spirit on display are joined by a few moments of telling drama. Rated: 2/5 Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
