Synopsis
Polite Society (2023) is a British martial-arts comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Writer-director Nida Manzoor's feature debut follows a teenager dead set on wrecking her own sister's wedding.
Ria Khan (Priya Kansara) wants to be a stunt performer and trains by throwing kicks at her bedroom mirror. When her older sister Lena ditches art school and agrees to marry a suspiciously perfect groom, Ria smells a trap and recruits her friends for a plan only a teenager would attempt: a full-blown heist to grab the bride mid-ceremony. The more it escalates, the further it drifts from realism into swords, wirework and near-superhero brawls.
Manzoor, creator of the series We Are Lady Parts, folds teen comedy, action movie and a Desi wedding into one giddy package. Under the chaos sits a real story about sisterhood, family expectation and a young woman's right to choose her own life. Inventive, loud and not remotely polite. Stream Polite Society online on iFILM.
