Went to see preview this morning. Not a bad film, better than I expected... but clearly nowhere near as good as East is East, but still, lots of funny moments mixed some real emotional stuff too, towards the end. Worth going to see, as long as your expectations aren't too high! Just go for a bit of fun and don't make comparisons with East is East. Jimi Mistri only appears in one small scene, which was a pity, and Archie Panjabi was missed too! That said, Om Puri is outstanding again as George Khan and the new Sajid, Aqib Khan, proved an excellent grown up replacement. Also a real treat to see Nadim Sawalha in this one! I didn't pay to see the film, and probably won't be going to see it again.
