Directed by Gurinder Chadha

I must admit to having a soft spot for director Gurinder Chadha. She knows her world, which is mainly the west London Asian community. I love the fact that she shoots in all of the locations that she grew up in. She also has a distinctive flair for comedy,

In deepest Ealing we find a mother who's beside herself with worry that her eldest daughter remains unwed.

A suitor occurs in the most unusual way, he is a CID officer, whose investigating a series of murders which starts with a killing curry! As each victims pops off, they appear as ghosts (shades of Blythe Spirits). Roopi (Goldy Notay) has a ball as the daughter and the stellar cast which includes Sally Hawkins, Sanjeev Bhaskar Jimi Mistry and Zoë Wanamaker amongst them have a great time as this zany comedy unfolds.
