fun and different

Warning: Spoilers
In London, British-Pakistani teenager Ria Khan (Priya Kansara) wants to be a stuntwoman. She is supported by her older sister and best friend Lena (Ritu Arya) who is an art school dropout. The girls don't fit the traditional mold expected by her parents and the larger community. While at an Eid Mubarak party, Lena and other girls are introduced to hot bachelor Salim Shah. To Ria's horror, Lena starts dating Salim and quickly gets engaged. It's up to Ria to break them up.

It's lowkey fun for the most part with the fake kung fu fighting and the screwball capers. During the condom fiasco, I thought Salim should be the peacemaker or make some support for Lena's artistic side. It seems odd that he does neither and that speaks poorly of him. I like spa day while it's happening, but it doesn't make sense for Raheela to pull Ria into the house. When the lab happens, I thought that the girls were drugged and Lena was brainwashed. Something is off-putting. It has to be the graphics. I get the premise of reducing the girls to that part of them. It's just weird. The movie is fun, but there is a constant feel of amateurism. That's endearing to a certain extent.
