Product Description
Upbeat comedy set in Glasgow and directed by Pratibha Parmar. Nina Shah (Shelley Conn) is a feisty young Indo-Scottish woman with an identity crisis, who left home under a cloud after a row with her father. When her father dies unexpectedly some time later, Nina is forced to return home to run the family-owned Curry House. This reunites her with her childhood friend Bobbi (Ronny Jhutti|), a Bollywood drag queen, and brings her face to face with Lisa (Laura Fraser), a charismatic young woman who now owns half the restaurant. Nina embarks on a personal mission to win back the family business and to fulfil her father's secret wish of winning the 'Best of the West' curry competition. But Nina's feelings are thrown into turmoil when she realises she is falling in love - with Lisa. Can she win both prizes?

Just received this movie the other day and watched it right away. Oh wow. This is such a wonderful blend of comedy, drama, lush food and lighting, and beautiful scenery, combined with a sweet love story. There's a nice blend of cultures with the Scottish & Indian cultures, and it doesn't seem forced or stereotyped. All in all, great performances from Shelly Conn (Nina) and Laura Fraser (Lisa). Recommend it highly.

Nina's Heavenly Delights is a colourful cockle warming and entertaining love story. The acting from the two leads, Laura Fraser and Shelly Conn gives the film a depth amidst the lightheartedness and the soundtrack and Bollywood musical dashes are just plain fun.

This is just such a gorgeous, rich, delightful romantic comedy. A really fabulous feel-good movie which I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend highly to anyone who loves such films as 'Imagine Me and You', and 'Love Actually'. It has plenty of laugh out loud scenes, as well as more tender, moving moments, and is just a thoroughly entertaining way to spend an hour and a half! Highly Recommended.

Heart-warming
This is a story of love, loss, family, friendship and food. The little nuances about sexuality and culture could almost be seen as irrelevant against the main theme of love. Read more

well meaning, but not very good film
If the GLC had existed in Glasgow in the noughties this is the kind of well meaning film they might have come up with, a world of interracial marriage, openly gay Asian men,... Read more

Heart warming story... and nothing to do with the curry
