In a typical British family from Salford in the 70s, chaos and laughter intertwine in the life of George Khan, a Pakistani immigrant striving to keep the traditions of his homeland alive while trying to navigate British culture. With a British wife and six children, each struggling to find their own identity, George faces a real familial challenge. His children, who have grown up immersed in British culture, wish to break free from the strict rules imposed by their father while simultaneously dealing with the cultural and social expectations placed upon them.

The plot thickens when George decides to arrange his eldest son Nazir's marriage to a Pakistani woman of his choosing, while Nazir already has his own plans and a love in his heart: a British girl he is madly in love with. Tensions rise as the children find themselves caught between their family's traditions and their desire to be accepted in a Western world that seems more appealing.

Filled with hilarious situations and intense dramatic moments, this story explores the clash between cultures, the struggles of identity, and familial love. It is a journey of self-discovery, where each family member has their own narrative and their struggle to find a balance between two worlds. The film is a touching and humorous reflection of cultural diversity and how, despite differences, family always remains united.
