- From writer/director/producer Gurinder Chadha (“Bend It Like Beckham”) comes the inspirational drama “Blinded by the Light,” set to the music and lyrics of Bruce Springsteen’s timeless songs.
“Blinded by the Light” is a joyful story of courage, love, hope, family and the unique ability of music to lift the human spirit. The film tells the story of Javed (Viveik Kalra), a British teen of Pakistani descent growing up in the town of Luton, England, in 1987. Amidst the racial and economic turmoil of the times, he writes poetry as a means to escape the intolerance of his hometown and the inflexibility of his traditional father (Kulvinder Ghir). But when a classmate (Aaron Phagura) introduces him to the music of Bruce Springsteen, Javed sees parallels to his working-class life in the powerful lyrics. As Javed discovers a cathartic outlet for his own pent-up dreams, he also begins to find the courage to express himself in his own unique voice.
Inspired by a true story, based on Sarfraz Manzoor’s acclaimed memoir Greetings from Bury Park: Race, Religion and Rock N’ Roll, “Blinded by the Light” was directed by Gurinder Chadha from a screenplay written by Manzoor, Chadha and Paul Mayeda Berges.
“Blinded by the Light” stars Viveik Kalra, Kulvinder Ghir, Meera Ganatra, Nell Williams, Aaron Phagura, Hayley Atwell and Dean-Charles Chapman.
The story is underscored by the music and poetic lyrics of Springsteen, who gave Chadha his blessing from the film’s inception.

Im from the US and I just want Gurinder Chadha to know that I saw this movie last night and I can't get it out of my head! I LOVED it! Im 50 and saw it with my 18 y/o son and we both will be buying the dvd! You made an OUTSTANDING movie and you seem like someone that would I love to know. Thank you so much for making it!!
This movie deserves an Oscar
Saw it on Friday when it came out on general release here in the UK and going again on Monday - and l only go to the cinema once or twice a decade! A film you were Born to Watch! :)
A beautiful movie. It shows you the power of music, no matter your background. Wonderful xxxx
I can’t stop thinking about this movie since I saw it Friday!
the 80s was AWESOME with music omg!!!!
Loved, loved, loved this movie! I’ve been humming Springsteen songs ever since I saw. You bet I’ll be seeing it again!
Lovely interviews - I wish the names of the artists were on the video, as not sure who is speaking. Lovely people. Viveik Kalra - what a thoughtful young man. Blown away... Can't wait to see the film!
This is one of those behind the scenes that don’t ruin the movie for you. The actors keep it very professional and you can still get the vibe of their character from them.
Great film. Saw it the other week. I grew up in and around Luton in the 80s and so could relate to so much in the film of what was going on at that era
Me too brings back memories
Fantastic picture.
Wonderful movie
I love how they made it look like the old Luton. In the 80s though there were roads outside the town hall and up George street. Not paving
I love the premise of this film.havent seen it yet but I cant wait until the 24th of this month, when its released here in Mew Zealand. Im an 80s teen and Im trying my best to get a coming of age story set in the 80s made myself. Watch this space for my next comment after I see it. Im sure I wot be disappointed.
funny too cuz springsteen's such an american idol- i had no idea he was popular in the UK at the time...when so many of us teenage yanks were listening to british music!!! haha
@@elizabethbennet4791 It was a British invasion in the 80s. But here in New Zealand we listened to everything on both sides of the Atlantic.
You use live in MEW Zealand. It really was the cat’s MEOW.

Hi what song do they sing in the market please
Thunder Road
Is that Northolt High school?
It’s Luton sixth form college
It’s Yesterday with Bruce music!! Lolol
Not quite. Yesterday was built on pure fantasy, while this film is built on something that actually happened and has a deeper message. I have seen both films.
SPRINGSTEEN GAME OVER .
Terrible acting

It was an awesome feel good movie for me and I'm 62. Well done acting team.❤👍🤗
