All In Good Time DVD
From the award-winning director of A lot like Love and Calendar Girls, Nigel Cole presents All In Good Time - a hugely warm-hearted comic tale, adapted for the big screen from the Olivier award winning play Rafta Rafta by Ayub Karan Din (East is East.)
Centred around a close knit, larger-than-life British Asian family living in present day Bolton, All In Good Time stars Reece Ritchie (The Lovely Bones) and Amara Karan (The Darjeeling Limited) as Atul Dutt and his young bride Vina, for whom the first taste of married life is proving far from straightforward.
The wedding feast is over and Atul's father's drunken bhangra dancing and arm-wrestling has robbed the happy couple of the wedding limelight.
Spending the night at Atul's family home, when it is finally time for bed, Atul is so woefully inhibited by the proximity of his parents, not to mention his brother's childish pranks, that his beautiful virgin bride remains just that.
When their hard-earned honeymoon is cancelled the day after the wedding, the newlyweds have no choice but to return to the Dutt household and set up home there.
As prying family members and gossipy neighbours keep the couple from consummating their marriage, Atul and Vina start to panic. If they can just keep their situation private, and if they can just get a bit of time alone, all could be saved for this pair.
But secrets don't stay that way for long in the Dutt family and when the news breaks, it breaks big. The whole family starts to worry and muscle in with advice. After all, they need to know what it's going to take to get some grandchildren!
So with meddling parents, nosey neighbours and a community that thrives on gossip, can this marriage last? It's up to Atul to learn to stand up and be a man and prove to Vina that he loves her. And it's down to Atul's parents to face up to some home truths about their own marriage and not pass their mistakes on to the next generation.
Harish Patel (Run Fatboy Run) and Meera Syal (Anita & Me) reprise their roles from the original play as Atul's parents, Eeshwar and Lopa, in this hilarious and endearing comedy combining laughter, family loyalty and love.
