He however finds himself without being able to sell a single copy and resorts to selling illegal drugs (a situation in which many teenagers fund themselves at.). While 'Anuvahood' takes on a very light hearted approach to the subject, it is very close to relaitty when it shows the desperate lengths teens can go too, to get money. The locations in 'Anuvahood' are very simple and basic, they are accessbile and relatable to an everyday British audience. The park for example is a perfect representation of what normally happens, you can see large groups of teens hanging around them during daylight or at night and adds and effect of realism to the film. The norm of also seeing an off-license owner being indian is also a theme common within the Uk and is coined by 'Anuvahood' effectlively in a non-racist comedic way.
