Polite Society
Sisterhood, stunts, and a side of samosas.
Blending martial arts mayhem with sharp social satire, Nida Manzoor’s Polite Society is a genre-busting action-comedy like no other. Ria Khan, a teenage aspiring stuntwoman, dreams of pulling off the perfect fight sequence. But when her beloved sister Lena announces a sudden engagement, Ria suspects something sinister and recruits her friends for a wild mission to rescue her sister from the wedding of the century.
With dazzling fight choreography, laugh-out-loud gags, and a heartfelt core about love, identity, and family bonds, Polite Society is a high-kick celebration of rebellion and sisterhood. Imagine Jane Austen colliding with Jackie Chan — and landing the punch.
