The film, about racism against Asians in London, was shot in a span of thirty days in the UK and was budgeted between Rs. 4.5 crore and Rs. 5 crore.[1][2]

Plot

The film starts when a Sikh couple alight from a bus at night on an isolated street. The woman is pregnant. They are followed by racist goons and are attacked. Later, "I" along with his father reach London. They went to the house of their son who is living along with his wife, son and teenage daughter. Later, they see the news and learn that the bodies of a Sikh couple were found and it was a suspected racist attack. They attend the last rites of the deceased couple. Later on, the goons attack an Indian store owner. These goons believe that England belongs to white people. The family has to taste racism when Kamal (sister in law) of "I" is cornered and sexually humiliated. She returns home in shock. "I" learns of this and beats three white racist goons. But his brother didn't lodge a police complaint. Later on, "I" is attacked by a Pakistani who is running a boxing club. This attack is ordered by white racist goons as they don't want to attract police. Later on, "I" fights the gang leader of racist group, which "I" wins. In the post-credits scene, another family member from India arrives in England. As the entire family reaches the airport, the arriving individual is revealed to be I’s elder brother (Aasif Sheikh), teasing a sequel.
