Storyline

Opposites collide in the most delightfully inconvenient way when free-spirited Tara finds herself unexpectedly entangled with the quietly magnetic Bilal against the backdrop of a multicultural London that feels as alive as any character. Samar Iqbal's 2022 romantic drama captures the push-pull of two mismatched souls with warmth and wit, grounding its love story in the everyday textures of the Indian diaspora abroad. It's the kind of film that sneaks up on you — charming, emotionally honest, and refreshingly real.

Two opposites. One unexpected love story.
