Gurinder Chadha of Bend It Like Beckham fame returns with a new film, titled “It’s A Wonderful Afterlife.” The movie centers on the trials and tribulations of Rupy, a slightly overweight 20-something year old and her zealous Punjabi mother, who will stop at nothing to see her daughter happily married – including killing a few people along the way.
The film is being billed as a ‘zom-rom-com’ and is receiving rather mixed reviews in the UK. The film gives Punjabi billing on its soundtrack to well-known producers and artists, such as Panjabi MC, Kidd Skilly, and even Taz of Stereo Nation. See the trailer here and look for an interview with the film-director with Al-Jazeera’s Robert Frost after the jump. If you’ve seen the movie or are waiting for it, tell us your thoughts!
The Robert Frost Interview of Gurinder Chadha
Gurinder is something special. I was watching some of her older interviews on youtube about her life and career. I hope this movie makes her a lot of money. I can't wait to see it.
