Family driving you round the bend...?

Avie Luthrie, a practising psychiatrist, makes his debut as a writer/director with this warm but unsentimental comic portrait of a family in minor meltdown. The title refers to terms used in psychology to define dysfunctional behaviour, but also to the three siblings at the heart of the story: increasingly eccentric writer Atul (Nitin Ganatra), self-seeking shrink Hardeep (Zubin Varla) and depressed spinster Rashmi (Meera Syal). Can these lost souls get back on track?
