About this listen

 In this episode of The Watchlist with Jyotika, we revisit Bend It Like Beckham (2002), a landmark film that changed the conversation around women in sports across the world. Directed by Gurinder Chadha, the film follows Jess Bhamra (Parminder Nagra), a young British-Indian girl who dares to dream beyond cultural expectations and chooses football as her future. Featuring early performances by Keira Knightley and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, this episode explores how Bend It Like Beckham became more than a sports movie inspiring real-life participation, confidence and visibility for women on the field. A celebration of courage, choice and the right to play.
