Gulshan Grover's Honour Killing has its UK premiere today (February 27).
Primarily set in London, the film about honour crimes will have its first UK screening at Feltham's Cineworld Cinema.
Speaking about the project, director Avtar Bhogal stated: "Research has shown that victims often feel government authorities have done little to help.
"Through the film, I would like to forward a humble request to our society to wake up and realise that we need to be involved rather than be safe on the grounds of cultural sensibilities."
He went on to question: "No doubt the issue of honour is important but does it justify the killing of a human being solely for the purpose of honour?"
Also starring Bollywood actor Prem Chopra and Pakistani star Javed Sheikh, the movie highlights a type of crime which is often kept hidden from the media.
Honour Killing releases today at selected cinemas in the UK.
