All in Good Time is a British comedy-drama film that was released in 2012. The movie is directed by Nigel Cole and is based on the play Rafta, Rafta... by Ayub Khan-Din. The film stars Reece Ritchie, Amara Karan, and Harish Patel in lead roles. The story of the movie revolves around a young couple, Atul and Vina, who tie the knot and move in with Atul's family in Bolton, a town in northern England. However, the newlyweds find it hard to adjust to the living conditions at Atul's parents' house, especially due to the interference of Atul's controlling father, Eeshwar. The family's religious beliefs also cause some friction between Atul and his wife as they try to establish themselves as an independent couple.

Atul and Vina are excited about their honeymoon to Paris, but their plans are thwarted due to the sudden financial crisis faced by Atul's father. Eeshwar's small business has been struggling for a while, and things have come to a head due to the recession. Atul's parents need the money that was saved for their son's honeymoon to get the business back on its feet. This puts a wedge in the newlywed's relationship as they cannot understand why they need to sacrifice their happiness for the sake of the family's future.

The stress of living with Atul's family takes a toll on their intimate life, and the couple begins to have issues in their marriage. The inability to consummate their relationship is one of the central conflicts of the story, and it creates tension between the spouses. Vina, who is portrayed as a modern and independent woman, feels disrespected by Atul's family, who insist on being a part of every aspect of their life.

Harish Patel plays Atul's father, Eeshwar, who is a traditional, old-school businessman. Eeshwar believes in preserving his family's honor and reputation, and he takes immense pride in his work. He is also extremely possessive of his son and resents Atul's attempts to assert his independence. Amara Karan, who stars as Vina, is the perfect foil to Eeshwar. She brings a fresh perspective to the table and is portrayed as someone who is not afraid of speaking her mind.

Reece Ritchie's portrayal of Atul is excellent as he portrays the character's conflicted feelings of love and obligation towards his family. His performance is subtle yet effective, and he brings an innocent charm to the character of Atul.

The film's unique selling point is its portrayal of the South Asian community in Britain. The story is relatable to anyone who has had to navigate the cultural clash that comes with living in a foreign land. The movie depicts the struggles of second-generation immigrants who are trying to forge their path while also coping with the expectations of their parents and community.

All in Good Time is a poignant, realistic, and at times, hilarious portrayal of the South Asian community in Britain. The story is touching, and the characters are well-rounded, each with their own flaws and quirks. The movie does an excellent job of depicting a community that is often underrepresented on the big screen, and it is sure to resonate with anyone who has gone through similar struggles in their lives.

In conclusion, All in Good Time is a must-watch for anyone who is looking for a heartwarming story about love, sacrifice, and family. The movie is a testament to the human spirit and the resiliency of the South Asian community in Britain. The film is a perfect example of a culturally sensitive movie that does not rely on stereotypes or cliches and strives to portray the community in a positive and relatable light.

All in Good Time is a 2012 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 34 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.7.
