Salford, North of England, 1976. The now much diminished, but still dysfunctional, Khan family continues to struggle for survival. Sajid, the youngest Khan is deep in pubescent crisis under heavy assault both from his father's tyrannical insistence on Pakistani tradition, and from the fierce bullies in the schoolyard. So, in a last, desperate attempt to 'sort him out', his father decides to pack him off to Mrs Khan No 1 and family in the Punjab, the wife and daughters he had abandoned 35 years earlier.

enjoyed this so much more than east is east. it had a feel of light-heartedness whilst also tackling heavy issues such as racism. related to this much more than east is east and felt properly represented.

the scene where both wives r talking and neither understand each other but can still emotionally resonate with one another was beautiful. i also understand sajid on a transcendental level
