Sikh family, but broadly speaking you got it. It's a really nice coming of age movie that passes the Bechdel test easily (there is a hint of boy drama, IIRC, just not out of proportion to being a teenager), and it's also a very accurate slice of life portrait for English Sikhs, if my experiences with my wife's extended family are any indication.

    IIRC the original plan was for them to be gay, but the studio nixed it. It’s a good movie, but damn I wish that had happened; would have been great for me to have a movie like that back then
