"When I came to this country, I had no luggage. Today what have I got?" His daughter replies. "You got a chip shop dad." And this is exactly how East Of East stereotypes its leading characters and then slowly twists them on their head. Its opening scene depicts a family of diversity and broken down stereotypes. A Christian parade is filing along the streets of Salford, Manchester and the Khan children join the throng of participants to the pride of their mother, but upon hearing their father is observing from further down the street, the children race through the back alley's, only to rejoin the parade once it has passed their unsuspecting father.

East Is East is about cultural differences and the difficulties of combining religious beliefs and culture. It's also about the dangers of losing one's identity in association with their homes. But the resonating theme of East Is East is family dynamics, and how children unavoidably rebel against their parents' traditions and beliefs. As the film has it, family is the cause, and eventual solution facing the Khan children.

The audience participates in the universal feelings of the film with the enduring effects childhood and family leave on us; we immediately grasp the core of the film.
East Is East is packed with comedy moments and hilarious one-liners, but enters dark territory when it dips into domestic abuse. In one particularly difficult scene, we see George losing his temper and lashing out beating both his wife and one of his sons. The incident is not as graphic as we are used to with other movies but is still disturbing none the less. The filmmakers balance out the bleak sequence with moments other side of the comedy, some of which are of the slapstick variety and over-the-top, but the scene is not softened, it only stands out more as a scene of profound effect.

South Asian children face many challenges while living in Toronto/Canada. The children are typically adjusted to the lifestyle of their homeland and find it difficult to re-adjust to a new territory. Settling alone in a new place takes a toll on the children as well as the parents. Leaving everyone/everything in a search for a better life for their kids, parents struggle to thoroughly manage taking care of their children to the fullest. Parents have one eye open for their extended family and one eye open for their kids. As a result, the children fail to have a companion alongside them at all times and therefore, the children view life negatively. Not taught how to properly handle a situation, south-Asian children face racism, viewing the world with a bad eye, and dealing with the loss of their friends/family back in their homeland.
