My Life as a Popat

Anand Popat arrives with his family in Harrow and is particularly keen to make a good impression on his next door neighbour, Holly. Will he ever pluck up the courage to invite her to see ‘Men in Turbans’?.

Anand’s heart sinks when his parents announce that his bratty showbiz cousin Radha is coming all the way from Bombay to visit.

Dimple’s never-ending singing, practice for an important end of year school concert, is driving Anand and Chetan to distraction.

When Anand is given a school project to assess his family’s eating habits, he sees that their high fat curry diet gives them a low life expectancy. He must do something to get them to change before it’s too late.

It’s the night before Diwali – the Indian Festival of light – and Dimple, Chetan and Anand are dreading yet another record-breaking speech from their father, Ramesh. They have much more exciting plans and have to escape.

Anand is assigned yet another school project that fills him with dread. Ramesh, his father, hates to be disturbed when he’s filming for his Asian satellite channel- how will he take to ‘take your child to work day’ ?
