East is East

Family can hold you together and tear you apart.

Salford, 1971. The Khan family are living above a chip shop and on the fault line between two cultures. George Khan is determined the family is raised his Pakistani way. His English wife, Ella, just wants to keep the peace. Their seven children? They’re busy discovering disco, denim, and defiance.

When George begins arranging marriages for his sons, rebellion erupts and loyalties are tested. What follows is a hilarious and deeply moving battle between tradition and change.

Ayub Khan-Din’s modern classic blends razor-sharp comedy with moments of shocking honesty. East Is East is a story about identity, generational conflict, and the messy, unbreakable bonds of family.

Come for the laughs. Stay for the heart.
