Description

28 March 2005
Bombay, 1962: Sera Kotwal (Souad Faress) gives birth to Brit (Firdaus Kanga), a boy whose bones are so brittle that all he needs to do is hiccup and he breaks a rib.
Based on Kanga's acclaimed autobiographical novel, Trying to Grow, Sixth Happiness is the very funny, acerbic and moving story of a young man's sexual awakening as family life crumbles around him.
With powerhouse performances from Kanga and Faress, and featuring great support from Nina Wadia (Goodness Gracious Me), Indira Varma (Bride and Prejudice) and Meera Syal (The Kumars at No. 42), Sixth Happiness manages to turn just about every stereotype about India, disability and sexuality on its head.
