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” 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. But when a classmate introduces him to the music of “the Boss,” Javed sees parallels to his working-class life in Springsteen’s 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.
Based on Sarfraz Manzoor’s acclaimed memoir Greetings from Bury Park, “Blinded by the Light” is a joyful story of courage, love, hope, family and the unique ability of music to lift the human spirit.
Chadha directed and produced the film, which was written by Manzoor, Chadha and Paul Mayeda Berges. The story is underscored by the music and poetic lyrics of Springsteen, who gave Chadha his blessing from the film’s inception.
“Blinded by the Light” stars Viveik Kalra, Hayley Atwell, Rob Brydon, Kulvinder Ghir, Nell Williams, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Aaron Phagura. The film was directed by Gurinder Chadha from a screenplay by Sarfraz Manzoor, Chadha and Paul Mayeda Berges. Jane Barclay, Chadha, and Jamal Daniel produced the film. Paul Mayeda Berges, Hannah Leader, Tory Metzger, Tracy Nurse, Stephen Spence, Peter Touche, and Renee Witt served as executive producers.
Chadha’s behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Ben Smithard, production designer Nick Ellis, editor Justin Krish, and costume designer Annie Hardinge. The original score music is by A.R. Rahman.
A presentation of New Line Cinema, “Blinded by the Light” is slated for release on August 16, 2019 and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

UNDERATED MOVIE WATCH IT
Damm this looks stupid.
Interesting mix of family drama, musical, and music video. Thanks to this film team for the joyful laughter.
I feel like there is thousands upon thousands of ppl out there that get them goosebumps you get when a great song comes on and YOU FEEL it. But stay in the closet about it for fear of ridicule for liking it. Smh hell of a way to live. Gd music's gd music. Listening to Manfed Manns song blinded by the light .my god just hits me.
The dude is telling English folks that springstein is his favorate music star… but kind of forgot not everyone cares but thinks hes special because he likes Springstein.
I summed up 90% of the movie.
This film was surprisingly excellent.
If only Bruce's music was still as good as it was bacc den :<
now i remember
First saw Bruce in 1978 . Love his music. It's sad seeing him over the years fall in with those wanting socialism instead of our republic. He once wrote and sang about truth, but became your typical liberal divider where you hate everything= all business is evil ( rich vs poor narrative). I think Bruce just lost touch with the real world
After falling in love with In The Heights this year, I'm thinking about giving this movie a chance. I saw this preview in theaters, and I didn't show much interest in it, until now
This movie made me cry on a flight to visit my mom and siblings like, the fact that I got reminded so much of my own struggle in the past with racism in school and putting up with my abusive father really got to me.. Seeing the ending of this movie pan out really gave me hope for the future and wherever I intend to take my passion moving forward.
I wish period themed films wouldn't go so over the top with costumes and hair. The 80s wasn't that distinctive with everyday peoples' looks. Otherwise looks like a sweet movie.
manfred mann did it better
For me it was the smiths Morrissey wrote the soundtrack to my life before I was even born .. born in 89 by the way
Too bad Bruce turned out to be such a phony.
This history was real ❤️
Springsteen is so awful
Saw this movie this weekend and loved it. I left Luton in 1972 for los angeles.
I liked this movie but I can’t get behind the sometimes cringey sing out loud moments where they’re just running through the streets singing. It doesn’t piece well together for me. I like the main character but sometimes I don’t like him cause he just seems kinda immature and bails on his family when they need him. But I think the dad I think can also be overbearing.

Watched this earlier in the morning, amazing movie.
The killers, blue October and so much of country music spoke to me!
My teen years were centered in this music. Generally if your a Bruce fan Dylan and Petty wasn’t far from it
