A strange and true story.

Kumail Nanjiani is a struggling comic trying to carve out a place in the New York comedy scene. After a performance at a local club, he meets Emily, a graduate student at the University of Chicago, and they spend the night together. What seems like a one-night stand starts to become something more, even though they come from very different worlds: he is of Pakistani descent, and she does not share his cultural heritage. Kumail comes from a strict Muslim family, and his parents have very clear expectations about his future. The movie is directed by Michael Showalter and stars Nanjiani himself, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emily V. Gordon.

Trivia about The Big Sick

A scene in which Nanjiani's character is interrupted during a show was inspired by a real incident involving Holly Hunter, who shouted at a player during a US Open tennis match.

Amazon Studios bought the distribution rights for 12 million dollars, the second-largest deal at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

According to Anupam Kher himself, the last scene of his character was the first one shot for the production.

An AwardsDaily survey of one hundred critics, conducted in July 2017, ranked it as the second-best movie of the year at that point, behind Get Out.

In 2021, Kumail Nanjiani admitted he regrets how some of the South Asian female characters were portrayed in the movie and said he wouldn't do it the same way today.

The movie won the Audience Award at South by Southwest in 2017, after its run at Sundance and before its theatrical release.

It grossed 42,873,127 dollars in the United States and Canada, and reached 56,411,585 dollars worldwide.

The production received one Oscar nomination and collected 19 awards and 101 nominations according to IMDb.
