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.

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

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

Absolutely brilliant film! Fantastic cast and hilariously funny. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and having seen all of Pravesh's plays I think this is definitely one of his best pieces of work! The characters are so brilliantly portrayed and it's so realistic. I could easily watch it again and again! Well done!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

It is a light hearted romcom with a bollywood british modern twist to it. There are a few plot twists in this film. A great film to watch!

Absolutely loved this film! After such a long time I've seen an authentic British Asian Movie! Filled with comedy as well as tackling some serious issues such as mental health! Defo one to watch! Both the Rameet and Viraj and the rest of the cast were fantastic in their respective roles!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
