Examines Muslim family's religious warfare.
Largely a showcase for Puri, and he rises to the occasion with a performance that bursts from the screen and tears into your heart.
Bounces between funny and chilling.
A movie in which the easy socio-racial paradoxes have been diagrammed with more care than the relationships
Far less insulting to Pakistanis or Mancunians than it is to its audience.
