Gangs of Tooting Broadway
2013, 86 minutes
TOOTING BROADWAY, is a film about what we are willing to do for the people we love, but deeper than that it focuses on the way we live our lives and the choices we must make to survive. What is important to you? Your country, your family or your friends?
TOOTING BROADWAY is an urban crime drama, whose South London location lends a gritty feel to a fast paced story that highlights a rarely seen gang culture. 24 hours before the Tamil protests outside the Houses of Parliament in 2009, Arun (Nav Sidhu) returns home from a long absence, to stop his younger brother Ruthi (Kabelan Verlkumar) from participating in a criminal act that could ruin his life. Arun is granted a day by his mysterious employer, Marcus (Oliver Cotton) to talk Ruthi round. Once back he meets an old flame, Kate (Elizabeth Henstridge) who is struggling with a big decision herself, while Arun’s friendship with gang leader, Karuna (San Shella) threatens to suck him back into a world he left behind. The political tension provides the backdrop for Arun’s need to forge a life away from his past misdeeds versus his obligations to his family, friends and his Tamil roots.
