How many Christmas movies have you seen? Whilst watching them have you ever wished to see south Asian storylines in those films? Or wondered what it would be like to have a holiday film for a desi holiday like Diwali?

If the answer to either of those last two questions is yes, then you’re in luck. This year as part of their ‘31 days of going home for the holidays’ movies, Comedy Central are premiering Hot Mess Holiday, a film about a finance executive who is dumped by her cheating fiancé during Diwali, and how her best friend, determined to help her, gives her a wild weekend but they somehow get involved in a diamond caper and chaos reins.

The two female best friends are played by south Asian actresses and comedy duo Melanie Chandra and Surina Jindal, who also produced the TV movie and the film boosts a host of other south Asian acting talent including Kal Penn, Richa Moorjani (from Never Have I Ever), Lily Singh, Nik Dodani, Kunal Dudheker, Ritesh Rajan and Punam Patal. It was written by Sameer Gardezi and directed by Jaffar Mahmood.

As this trailer and interview with Surina and Mel shows, the film does justice to it’s name and it a mad, fun and hilarious! You can watch it in the UK today, on Comedy Central Extra.
