The guy who played Javed's Dad is a superb actor.

Check him out on goodness gracious me
Very funny guy!
I cried like a baby. South Jersey girl, major Bruce fan, sang along loud and proud. Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. is my #1 favorite Springsteen album. I love the way the lyrics and the British/Pakistani life experience expanded the real-world appeal of thoughtful poetry and infectious music.
Loved it 🙋♀️💜 ... my 92 year old mum recommended the film to me, she said it was the BEST FILM she has ever seen in her life 😁 She goes to films weekly
She sounds amazing 😊
My wife and I just stumbled across the movie, what a delight!!! It's one of those that you can watch again and again and again. I unashamedly teared up at the end when Viveik was giving his speech.
My dad and I saw it in the theater a little over a year ago. He cried so hard in the theater, reminiscing about how he grew up and listened to Bruce Springsteen. It was touching knowing how Bruce's music touched people's lives like my dad and the director of this movie.
A masterpiece. A wonderful movie that's quite relevant today as well when we are going back to creating barriers instead of breaking them.
Damn, the guy playing Javed is gorgeous.
I already called dips on him lol just kidding I know he’s just a person don’t come for me
I’m probably annoying people from commenting to much but I fell in love with him when the movie came out. I totally loved the movie by the way because I’m a huge 80s fan.
I kept thinking throughout the movie he could play a younger version of jake gyllenhaul if they did a movie together just sum lighter make up n contacts dead ringer
@@tinajeppesen5948 So true about his resemblance to Jake Gyll
Pakistan men are handsome. They have been ranked at third place for good looks.
Watched this film today on the Boss's 70th birthday. Happy birthday Bruce, and thank you Gurinder and Sarfraz for making this. Had me in tears, brilliant film. 👍
As a huge pet shop boys fan, I was thrilled to hear ‘it’s a sin’ around the beginning of the movie.
I am from Luton and I lived exactly how this guy did. I was there when all this stuff was going on. This film is shockingly accurate. I tried to explain to my friends in london about the Luton garages and how we socialised around them and thats where the magic happened with fixing your cars there and mixing a bit with the neighbour's or a fight with the nf boys if you crossed paths. The characters are very much the same as they were when I lived there. I also had that one white friend that stuck up for me and the older white nieghbour who was respectful from a distance and offered support against racism. The fact the film recognised the NF and their massive presence there. I try to tell people in london that in Luton we only fought with NF. Here in london they fight over postcodes and areas or mug you. There should be a 2nd part to this. Maybe following my journey as it was much like this but with more real life tragedy. My father also lost job at Vauxhall and a lot more happened like we went in our first family holiday to Pakistan and our plane got hijacked by terrorists. We became quite known for this story in Luton. I can't believe how accurate this film is with Luton life of the 80s. I always thought it was an important story and lifestyle there that needed to be told. This film really touched me especially as I am from the same part and of that same life. I am more shocked and impressed then anyone else for this. Thank you
Good on you. Sorry you had to encounter all that racist bullshit as a young man.

I still get it now in jobs but it's not as obvious anymore. There is a lot of racism when applying to get good jobs here towards Pakistani muslim guys. If you get a degree and have a good smart character they despise us for it rather then reward us for integrating successfully
@@BobbyDeniroX Sorry to hear that. I wish you the best.
BobbyDeniroX BobbyDeniroX Your words underline the greatness and universality of the story, just like Bruce does with his amazingly perceptive lyrics. My favorite of his songs is It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Hard_to_Be_a_Saint_in_the_City), but the film included all of my favorite songs! ”Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun. Woah but mama, that’s where the fun is!” (Blinded By The Light)
He looks like an Indian Jake Gyllenhaal... lol
Omg I was just wondering who he looks like! You got it spot on lol
*Y E S*
I'm a black guy in South Africa and I watched this movie over 20 times..I've tried to make my friends watch it and they think it's a boring movie just by looking at the caption.I never heard of Bruce Springsteen before watching this movie.. Jared khan and his dad were brilliant including everyone.
once she starts she never stops, he hardly got a word in, but a good film.
I saw this movie on a plane last week. It was such an emotional journey that I just loved! So well done what a great story
Viveik reminds me of Alex Turner. Attractive, talented and charming 🥰 anyway, great movie. Reminds me of when I was a kid and discovered music that changed my life. Never forgot that feeling.
Thank you for sharing that insight. Mr. Springsteen's words and music has spoken to me also.
I'm a big Bruce fan, saw him in 85 St james' park newcastle, I bought this film off CZcams, as a 59 year old I can relate to everything in this film and it lifts me up every time I watch it. 🙏🏼 Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce 🏴👏🏻
Such a killer movie!! BRUCE!!
I first saw this in theaters two years ago. Saw it again last night and I think I cried like four times.
I talked to my friend who introduced me to Boss ‘s music and then I watched this yesterday 3rd time. Watched with tears in my eyes .
There will never be another Bruce😭😭😭😭What a singer.we still love you Bruce.🖒🖒🖒🖒Melissa Arispe oct2019.
melissa a. Always gonna miss Bruce, R.i.p
@@RileyHarrisVFX hes not dead lol.He has a concert schedule coming up.just wish i could afford to take that trip to see him once.raising grandkids keeps me busy and pocketz empty
@@RileyHarrisVFX Hunh???
you write that as if you think he's passed....??
He’s soooo handsome
I was stoned when I thought I made this film up. Wow. Glad I watched it.
Just saw the movie yesterday. I thought it was so-so...the last chunk of the movie was great. The song "Born to Run" would make ANY movie great, though. But, yeah, I would recommend it...I certainly got some chills!
I adored this movie, Gurinder. It speaks heart-to-heart with all of us who have flown in the face of tradition and fought to realize our dreams. Blinded By the Light also makes political and commercial sense.You've accomplished everything you set out to. THANK YOU!
i just finished watching this movie. I got one thing to say. UNDERRATED!!! ABSOLUTE MASTER PIECE!
Damm hes fineee
Wonderful movie. I really didn't expect it to be so good but it was something I'd recommend everyone see.
Fantastic film, very well done
A very pensive movie indeed !
The work of all the actors, writers and the whole team is quite commendable !
In a nutshell, it was more of a reflection of a poet's feelings and how he strives to change the tyranny of the society into a fine altruism !
Music is poetry itself ! OMG..BRUCE !
Just loved the whole thing !!!
❤
Great movie..
I wish they’d talked to the actor more
Directors vision tho
i saw it more than a week ago and wow... it was better than i thought it would be. i don't consider myself a big fan of the boss but dammit, it made me listen to some of his music and some of the stuff that happened in the film was moving and bruce's music really helped.
I love this film
This movie was so so so good and had such a sensitive touch to it I knew it had to have been directed by a woman.
Fantastic
It was a really great movie. Thank you.
Incredible movie.
Best Movie of 2019
I love this movie!!!
Great story!
