Meena, a 12-year-old living in a mining village in the English Midlands in 1972, is the daughter of Indian parents who've come to England to give her a better life. This idyllic existence is upset by the arrival in the village of Anita Rutter and her dysfunctional family. Anita is 14, blonde and beautiful - exactly what Meena thinks she wants to be. She becomes part of Anita's world, but events do not run smoothly. Meena's growing up - and that brings plenty of changes.

"Based on Meera Syal's novel who also wrote the script as well, this is a great coming of age story about a young Asian girl Meena Kumar living in the West Midlands during the 70's who becomes friends with the local bad girl Anita and her gang called The Wenches. It deals with racism, education, growing up and family. It accurately depicts the attitude at the time towards Asians living in the UK. The movie is funny and has got some cracking witty lines. Chandeep Uppal is very likable as Meena wit"
