16-year-old Ria Khan (Priya Kansara) is an aspiring stuntwoman living in London with her family. Loyal to her older sister Lena (Ritu Arya), she’s aghast when Lena becomes engaged to surgeon Salim (Akshay Khanna) – the charming, wealthy scion of the prominent Shah family – and announces their imminent move to Singapore. Is it sibling envy or loss Ria feels, or is something genuinely awry? 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.
A dynamic, energetic and wickedly funny film, Polite Society tells an Austen-esque tale of two sisters via anarchic genre shifts that take in action comedy, martial arts, Bollywood and social horror. Beautifully designed and boasting a tremendously witty, punchy script, it’s a lighthearted and distinctive study of sibling affection.
