A merry mash up of sisterly affection, parental disappointment and bold action, POLITE SOCIETY follows martial artist-in-training Ria Khan who believes she must save her older sister Lena from her impending marriage. After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off the most ambitious of all wedding heists in the name of independence and sisterhood.

Absolutely hilarious! From a spa date interrogation scene to a hilarious gym infiltration to never-before-seen South Asian women fighting in lehengas, this good-fun comedy has a new twist or a novel idea every 10 minutes. There are more active women here than 99% of Bollywood and I so enjoyed the clever usage of the song Maar Dala (“killed me”), complete with the green ensemble. And — favorite part — THE BRUNCH DANCE. 😆 I SO love the sisters’ relationship when they are supporting each together.

amateurish in all aspects from concept to acting, directing and even continuity

Very fast, very fun. The extended South Asian family dynamics were on point. RIYL Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
