Main detraction is the hard to understand main character, who even has some funny lines. The story appeals by relying on a simplistic character positive role model, and the somewhat disturbing quality of the world & other characters he is emerged in. I was pleasantly surprised at being drawn in & entertained by what appears unconventional and is really a quite ordinary hollywood love story.

An immigrant family in England is torn apart by a strange generational conflict as father is drawn to liberalism and promiscuity while son becomes a radical Islamist. The film's fast pace and lightheartedness are at the same time its best and its worst qualities: It could have been deeper and more serious but that might have cost it its valuable humor. In any case a very good movie with good acting by Om Puri.
