Teenager Ria Khan is an aspiring stuntwoman. Loyal to her artistic older sister Lena, she’s aghast when Lena seems to reject her old life and becomes engaged to charming surgeon Salim. After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off an ambitious wedding heist in the name of independence and sisterhood. A dynamic and wickedly funny film from the creator of We Are Lady Parts, this is an anarchic tale of families and falling in love which is part martial arts comedy, part Bollywood and all heart.
What people are saying
“An action-comedy that exuberantly smashes the patriarchy. Nida Manzoor’s film is a charm offensive that simply doesn’t let up.”
