 ... to look after them is just the perfect idea. Ravi is to organise the enterprise from the British end, Sunny from the Indian one. When Norman has been lured onto the plane with the prospect of sex-crazy Indian women queuing for him, the story turns to three old biddies (one of them realises that they've reached an age where strangers automatically put them in this category). They live alone either because they're single or because their children live far away. It becomes clear to the people around them that they can'...more

Dr. Ravi Kapoor works in the A&E ward of an English hospital. He's committed, patient, sympathetic. All these positive characteristics dwindle to zero when he comes home.

He smokes in the house, surfs the net for porn sites on Ravi's computer, burps and farts with alacrity and can never resist a smutty joke. After all, Norman's a man of the world who knows ...  Read the complete review
