The stars of Ayub Khan Din’s new offering All in Good Time have been dazzling audiences at the Glasgow and Dublin Film Festivals.
Over the past two weeks, Amara Karan, Reece Ritchie and Meera Syal have been busy introducing cinema-goers to the hugely warm hearted, comic tale adapted for the big screen from the Olivier award winning play ‘Rafta Rafta’.
Centred around a close knit, larger than life British Asian family living in present day Bolton, All in Good Time stars Reece Ritchie (The Lovely Bones) and Amara Karan (The Darjeeling Limited) as Atul Dutt and his young bride Vina, for whom the first taste of married life is proving far from straightforward.
Amara says of the response from the festivals: “The Glasgow audience was the first to see the film in all its glory. We couldn’t have asked for a warmer reception and reaction to the film.

Ayub Khan-Din was in his first year at drama school in Salford when his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Khan-Din, the mixed-race son of a Pakistani Muslim father and a white Catholic mother, found that each time he came home, another slab of his mother's memory had disappeared. The past, with all its stories, was slipping into the void, and Khan-Din became determined to try to preserve his parents' history and his own experience of growing up.
Although he was studying to be an actor, Khan-Din started writing. At the time, Asians were rarely glimpsed on screen in the UK unless they were being beaten up by racist skinheads, running corner shops or fleeing arranged marriages. Khan-Din wanted to tell a different story...
