East Is East / West Is West

East Is East
Salford, 1971 and Pakistani chip shop owner George Khan (Om Puri) lives with his white wife Ella (Linda Bassett) and their seven children.

George wants to raise his children as devout Muslims, but things go wrong when his eldest son Nazir (Ian Aspinall) flees his arranged marriage midway through the ceremony. Undeterred, George plans a marriage for his son Tariq (Jimi Mistry), but when Tariq discovers what is happening he rebels against his father, and the future of the family is plunged into doubt.

West Is West
Sequel to the internationally acclaimed, multi-award winning East Is East, West Is West takes the Khan family on a journey from Salford, England, to rural Pakistan.

West Is West is the coming of age story of both 13 year old Sajid and also of his father, 60 year old George ('Ghengis') Khan. Sajid, the youngest Khan has been misbehaving so his father decides to pack him off to Mrs Khan No 1 and family in the Punjab, the wife and daughters he had abandoned 30 years earlier. Resolved to teach Sajid a lesson, the tables are turned on George as he realises that it is he himself who has much to learn.
