A new clip from the upcoming action comedy Polite Society teases a sibling dispute to end all sibling disputes. The clip, which was released by IGN, shows sisters Lena and Ria Khan have a verbal disagreement that escalates to full-blown hand-to-hand combat. Directed by Nida Manzoor, Polite Society blends the visual humor of Edgar Wright’s movies with the slick martial arts of Jackie Chan’s cinema, for a “merry mash-up” of genre thrills and social satire.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite what the clip might suggest, Lena and Ria actually love each other deeply. The real reason behind Ria's anger is that Lena has agreed to an arranged marriage with someone she doesn’t even know, and Ria worries she has thrown her life away. Lena was, after all, the only person who supported Ria in her dream of becoming a stunt woman.
Polite Society satirizes the dictates that are often imposed upon women, particularly South Asian women. The “villain” of the film is what people from South Asian communities would call an “aunty”; and nobody has described what an aunty is better than Devi from Never Have I Ever. “Aunties,” she said for everybody’s convenience in the first season of the show, “are old Indian women who have no relation to you but are allowed to have opinions about your life and shortcomings.
