Description

Deepa Mehta Attending

Deepa Mehta’s excursion into genre filmmaking is a bold social commentary with charisma and style to burn. Loosely based on notorious west coast crime lord “Bindy” Singh Johal, this unapologetic gangster film takes us into the glamorous but lethal world of the Bebba Boys, a well-tailored Sikh gang led by Jeet Johar. The fight to the top among the Asian gangs in Vancouver is one Jeet and his Bebba Boys plan on winning no matter what. Working in comedy, action and violence with finesse, Mehta navigates a vivid tale of marginalization, power and family loyalty.

Press

"In 'Beeba Boys,' Deepa Mehta channels her inner Tarantino for a noteworthy change of pace, one that pursues her career-long inquiry into identity and the immigrant experience with explosive results." - Toronto Star
