Synopsis

Shahid, perilously fond of sex, music, and drugs, attends a lusterless community college in London. He wants to please the conservative Muslims in the flat next door, but is enthralled by the gorgeous, flamboyant, radical college lecturer Deedee Osgood. Shahid is also caught in a nasty battle between his arch-feminist, exceedingly wealthy Indian sister-in-law and his suave brother Chili, who puts all his income up his nose or into Armani suits.
