This feelgood comedy set in west London follows the dreams of Jessminder and Jules whose shared passion for football brings them together in a local girls' team. The only problem is that Jess' traditional-minded Indian parents would never approve of such activity - so she spins a series of elaborate yarns in order to not get found out and continue to play. But when her sister Pinky's wedding falls on the same day as a vital match, she's left facing a dilemma over which part of her life should come first... Some dialogue in Punjabi and Hindi, subtitled in English.

    I thought that I was going to dislike this film, but I surprised myself by actually liking it a great deal.
    It was interesting to pick out the people who are currently acting on the tv currently.

    This movie is about an indian girl who has a dream to be a footballer like David Beckham. Her family dosen't like her playing football so she has to lie and sneak out of the house to go for football practice. She and her coach have a connection but she knows her family won't approve and he was her coach so there were rules about that. WATCH IT AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS MOVIE. It is full of romance, truth, different cultures, dreams and trying hard and you will surely learn something from this movie. Well i loved this movie and i hope you will love it too.

    I love this film, A becuse I love football and B its quite interesting to watch. It is based on this Indian girl called Jess, and she is a seek. She has a sister who is going to get married, but she is more interested in football. She is a really skillful footballer, and gives me the impression that she really enjoys it. It is really interesting to watch, but her mum and dad, disagree with her playing football. When her parens find out that she has been playing for a team, they are shocked, to find that the coach is a man.

    Have you ever had a dream but couldn't pursue it? Then you'd like this film! ( probably... )

    This film is about a Sikh teenager who is obessed with football but due to her sisters wedding and family issues she has a tough time pursuing her dream!

    This film was a bit boring as it was not my type of movie, if it had more scenes with football then i would give it a better rating but it didn't so i reward it two stars!
