Additional InformationSet in the early 1970s, EAST IS EAST, directed by Damien O'Donnell, follows the lives of a Pakistani-English family living in Northern England. George Khan (Om Puri), a proud Pakistani immigrant, and his British wife, Ella (Linda Bassett), run a fish and chip shop, while raising their seven children. George is determined to honor Pakistani tradition by arranging marriages for each of the children, whether they like it or not. When the Khan kids, including the nightclubbing Tariq (Jimi Mistry), the artsy Saleem (Chris Bisson), and the shy, parka-wearing Sajid (Jordan Routledge), begin to rebel against their forceful father, their mother also joins the household mutiny. During an awkward nuptial arrangement meeting with the snobby Shahs and their two unappealing daughters, the family's conflict hits its peak with surprising results.<BR>With his first feature film, O'Donnell convincingly recreates the 1970s setting and carefully avoids glossing over the Khan family's difficulties. Puri and Bassett are excellent as the well-meaning parents, while Routledge is particularly charming as the reclusive youngest son. A quirky comedy that doesn't shy away from tense drama, EAST IS EAST is a truly unique film. <br> Following on from the events in the phenomenally successful EAST IS EAST, the sequel WEST IS WEST once more centres of the dysfunctional Khan family. The youngest member of the clan, Sajid, is caught between his fatherÆs bludgeoning system of values and playground bullies. Using the bullying to his advantage, Mr Khan takes his son out of school and packs him off to live with his first wife, and the family he abandoned thirty years before, in the Punjab. Being back in the motherland and away from the distractions of contemporary Britain Khan hopes his son can be inducted into the traditions that he has struggled to introduce before. But is it too late?
ReviewsPsychologies - A big-hearted and hilarious film, Daily Telegraph - West is West is full of delights: Peter Robertson's airy cinematography is casually gorgeous, the Hindi film songs on the soundtrack are delightful, and the acting consistently top-notch., The Guardian - It's refreshingly un-parochial, with charm and fun, and Bassett and Puri are reliably excellent

Brilliant and a Best Buy
I have watched these previously on TV and love them, although the 2nd one West is West has not been on as many times. It is great to be able to purchase both these DVDs together, and at a brilliant price. Am saving them for when we go away - so not seen the actual DVDs yet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Mixed review
East is East is a fabulous film. I laughed until I cried! It's really clever as it has quite a dark side too. Very entertaining and thought provoking. However, as is often the case with sequels West is West wasn't nearly as good. No humour really and quite serious.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

One of the best channel 4 films ever.
As with "East is East", this sequel is both happy and sad. All the characters are realistic and I can imagine living in their street back in the 70's. Subjects that were taboo then and not so now are investigated and understood. This is a life journey film with all the ups and downs you would expect to experience. All in all a brilliant film.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
