The Auntie Gang
Production: English I Comedy I Feature Film
Production Company: Bazooka Bunny Ltd in association with Busy Doctor Films
​
When Laxshmi is widowed, she finds out that her late husband was hoodwinked into signing up to a contract forfeiting their home and business upon his death, meaning that if she doesn’t find £50K in the next month, she’ll lose everything; primarily her disabled daughter, who’ll have to go into a care home, far from home. Facing ruination from the unscrupulous banker, Devan (call-me-Dave), and out of options, Laxshmi and friends rally round. And, as any Indian knows, no one messes with aunties…
There’s Janet, the honorary auntie (she’s married to an Indian man), overlooked at work and pushed out to pasture; Madhu, a divorced and childless artist, hence irrelevant, and Laxhmi, a successful mechanic and businesswoman.
They come together to steal £250K from the very man threatening them, banker Call-me-Dave. All they have to do is break into the fortress-like investment bank, get to Dave’s office, avoiding the CC-TV and alarms, crack the safe, get the £250K, then walk out and save the day. What can possibly go wrong?

For audiences that enjoy humorous British films about the plucky underdog including Fisherman’s Friends and The Full Monty, along with heist films such as Ocean’s 11.
