West Is West (2010 film)

Tariq is now a hippie (looking like George Harrison)[citation needed] who runs a new age store with older brother Nazir, and his English girlfriend is unaware of his true ethnicity.

Sajid, the youngest Khan child, no longer wears a parka, and is a truant, constantly bullied due to his Pakistani background, but the headmaster—a former British soldier who served in the Punjab—is sympathetic, encouraging him to embrace his heritage.

He takes him to Pakistan to meet their extended family intending to show him life in their native land is better, although his wife Ella openly disapproves.

On the family farm, George is reunited with Basheera and their daughters whom he had abandoned thirty years before, and hands out gifts to all, telling them he is staying for a month to find Maneer a wife, but soon discovers no family will give their daughter away as they fear Maneer will leave his wife for an English woman as his father George did when he left Basheera for Ella.

Sajid gradually appreciates his culture and new surroundings which pleases George, except he is slightly jealous of the bond between his son and Pir Naseem.
