All in Good Time DVD

A warm-hearted comic tale directed by Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls), All in Good Time stars was adapted for the big screen from the Olivier award winning play Rafta Rafta by Ayub Khan Din (East is East), and is centred around a close knit, larger-than-life British Asian family living in present day Bolton. When their hard-earned honeymoon is cancelled, newlyweds Atul (Reece Ritchie) and Vina (Amara Khan) have no choice but stay at the Dutt household and set up home there.

As prying family members and gossipy neighbours keep the couple from consummating their marriage, Atul and Vina start to panic. If they can just keep their situation private, and if they can just get a bit of time alone, all could be saved for this pair. However secrets don’t stay that way for long in the Dutt family and when the news breaks, it breaks big. The whole family starts to worry and muscle in with advice. After all, they need to know what it’s going to take to get some grandchildren! With meddling parents, nosey neighbours and a community that thrives on gossip, can this marriage last? It’s up to Atul to prove to Vina that he loves her. And it’s down to Atul’s parents to face up to some home truths about their own marriage and not pass their mistakes on to the next generation.

Harish Patel and Meera Syal reprise their roles from the original play as Atul’s parents in this endearing comedy about laughter, tragedy, family loyalty and love.
