Ria wants to be a stuntwoman. Fuck being a Pharmacist.
Her older sister Lena (Ritu Arya) has just dropped out of art school and is going through a despondent phase.
Their quite traditional parents tolerate their dreams but try to steer them onto a more conventional path.
When a chance meeting with a handsome Doctor has Lena in a whirlwind romance and sudden engagement Ria decides this is suspicious and that she must stop the wedding by any means necessary.
CW: solid swearing
Nida Manzoor (known for "We are Lady Parts") has made an action comedy that is "British as fuck". Which nowadays includes big South Asian weddings, stuck up posh "aunties" and pampered favourite Pakistani sons as much as it does geezery Guy Ritchie Gangsters and Austenesque period drama.
The closest thing I can think to describe it as is "Scott Pilgrim vs The World" but it's sweary British Pakistani girls and a wedding instead of American slacker youth and a battle of the bands.
There's wry dialogue, stylised martial arts fighting, a gurning villain, a heist and the deployment of the term "heavy flow" to bypass any male gatekeeper.
I laughed lots straight from the outset. It sags a little in the later scenes when some actually dark stuff is introduced that jars but then we're back to ass-kicking capery nonsense.
Highly recommended 8/10.
