CGiii Comment
...And stars Ganatra - who directs (and acts) as if she is half asleep.
There is not an iota of energy in this plodding multi-cultural diatribe.
The dialogue is poor, the acting is poor and poor Jaffrey's talents are criminally wasted.
Ganatra has produced a melee of putrid characters.
Gay audiences deserve better than this and it has received some good reviews simply because of political correctness.
A bore from start to finish.
