Fans of UK TV’s punky sitcom We Are Lady Parts will lap up this delirious genre-mash-up from filmmaker Nida Manzoor. Kicking her way into infamy, too, is newcomer Priya Kansara as Ria, who’s determined to become a stunt woman. But when her sister Lena (Ritu Arya) quits art school for a suspicious shotgun wedding, Ria takes matters into her own hands. Described as a Jane Austen-esque action comedy, heist, martial arts, Bollywood, social horror, it’s should be a kick-ass showcase for fresh, edgy British talent.
