Standing in the way of that dream is Javed’s father, who wants his son to pursue something more practical. He’s particularly affected by it because Javed is a writer himself, filling notebook after notebook with essays and poems and dreaming of a career where he can do that professionally. Amidst that, Javed finds the music of Bruce Springsteen and discovers how that music speaks to universal truths. Based on a true story, the story focuses on Javed (Viveik Kalra), the son of Pakistani immigrants living in mid-80s suburban Luton, a time and place filled with economic hardships and a rise in racism and intolerance. Director Gurinder Chadha crafted something fun and highly entertaining in Blinded By The Light.
