¦ [Manocha] perfectly captures Britain's infatuation with ethnic integration. Elaborate and engaging, this is a perceptively witty show¦ conjuring up a belly full of laughs with sharp-shooting cultural observations¦ when his feisty spirit is fully unleashed, this is one of the hottest platefuls around.
