West Is West (2010)

Genre: Drama, Comedy
*ing: Om Puri, Linda Bassett, Aqib Khan, Ila Arun

'East is East' was a fantastic movie that I guess we all enjoyed and if you still have't caught up that movie ... you better do it soon for you sure are missing an amazing movie. 'West is West' comes as the second installment ... albeit very different form East is East ... the only parallel is the characters that are retained ... otherwise the movie is a whole new ball game ... which is good ... makes it very interesting a watch. Om Puri now visits Pakistan with his youngest son in the hope of making a better man out of his youngest son and in comes Ila Arun his first wife and a whole lot of things the audience were never shown in the first installment. For once I truly truly loved a sequel :-) I am impressed with what I saw :) Fantastic writing and screenplay by Ayub Khan-Din, surprisingly it's not the same director who directed East is East. This one is directed by Andy DeEmmony who apparently has vast experience on small screen content so in all fairness he has done a pretty good job with 'West is West'. Final Verdict - +vely a must watch even if you missed the earlier installment.
