Manchester,
1976. The now much diminished, but still equally as eccentric Khan
family continues to struggle for survival. Sajid (Aqib Khan), the
youngest Khan, is a bored and isolated teen, bunking off school
and shoplifting to spice up his life. He is seen as the runt of
the litter and under heavy assault both from his father's insistence
on Pakistani traditions and from the fierce racist bullies in the
schoolyard.
In
a last attempt to make a good Muslim son of Sajid, his father George
(Puri) decides to pack him off to their family in the Punjab, to
the wife and daughters he abandoned 30 years earlier. Resolved to
teach Sajid a lesson, the tables are turned on George when he realises
it is he himself who has much to learn.
From
the talented, Salford-born writer of East is East, Ayub Khan-Din
brings you another heart-warming comedy about family values the
world over, so if you liked the first film then youre guaranteed
to love this sequel.
