A fish out of water story about a loveable outsider, who must decide to embrace or defy his culture in the name of fitting in. 'Halal Daddy' follows the exploits of Raghdan Aziz (Nikesh Patel), a young British-Indian Muslim who flees the prospects of an arranged marriage in Bradford in favour of an easy life in the west of Ireland. Hanging with his mates and girlfriend Maeve (Sarah Bolger), it's the perfect getaway from his controlling father...Until Raghdan's 21st birthday when his father Amir (Art Malik) arrives unexpectedly from the UK with the gift of a run-down meat factory in the town. How will Raghdan cope with this poisoned chalice without ruining his relationship with his father forever? Or is it possible to turn recent events to his advantage and still manage to have a bit of fun? As Raghdan soon discovers, anything is possible with a little help from your friends... - Actors:

Had Potential to have been a better film - Halal Daddy review by CP Customer
Interesting film to start with but which for me had lost its way by halfway with a story line that I had no empathy with, and only partially redeemed itself by the end. Interesting performances from the cast but felt at times they were going through the motions!
