Synopsis

MAD, SAD & BAD is a comedy about an endearingly dysfunctional family and group of friends whose personal lives are continuously messed up by their own selfish needs and neuroses.

Atul is a sitcom writer who despises the work that everybody else loves. Rashmi lives at home with her mother, craving a life of her own but dreading all that goes with it. And Hardeep is a psychiatrist who can diagnose everyone's problems but his own.

Award-winning writer/director Avie Luthra turns a sharp observational eye towards an ensemble of often extreme and complex characters, played by a talented cast that includes Meera Syal (THE KUMARSs, ANITA & ME), Nitin Ganatra (BRIDE & PREJUDICE) and Andrea Riseborough (HAPPY-GO-LUCKY).

MAD, SAD & BAD is nominated for the Michael Powell Award for Best New British Feature Film at Edinburgh International Film Festival 2009.
