On the North American Billboard video charts, the film entered the top ten of the Top DVD Sales and Top DVD Rentals charts, at number six on Top VHS Sales, and number seven on Top VHS Rentals. [16] Two decades on, of course, some of the best American players come to play in the Women's Super League, which is among the best professional women's leagues in the world. It reminds us of the power of sport

Chadha, who played an active role in casting, chose Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley, who would play the two lead roles in the film, while Archie Panjabi and Jonathan Rhys Meyers were in early talks to join the cast. Shaznay Lewis and Anupam Kher were also in final talks. Juliet Stevenson and Frank Harper joined as Paula Paxton and Alan Paxton, mother and father of Jules. year-old Jesminder "Jess" Bhamra is the daughter of British Indian Punjabi Sikhs living in Hounslow, London. Jess is infatuated with football, but her parents do not support her interest. However, she sometimes plays in the park with boys, including her best friend, Tony, who is gay although her family thinks he has his eye on her. Her family is occupied with planning for Jess's sister Pinky's imminent wedding. Chadha had somehow managed to inject Punjabi culture into the world of professional football and Brooklyn hip-hop. Planet Bollywood gave the film a mark of 9 out of 10: the "screenplay not only explores the development of Jess as a person, but also the changing values and culture of NRI teens: Jess's urge to break the social norm of the Indian home-maker, her sister's (Archie Punjabi) sexually active relationship, and the gay Indian [Tony, played by Ameet Chana]." [23]Memes and gifs of the film still circulate on social media, whether it's the celebrations of the Hounslow Harriers or the famous Desi wall of defenders in the illustration above. She has appeared on TV shows such as The Hour with Ben Whishaw and Dominic West, The Village, BBC’s Atlantis, The Long Call and Death in Paradise. For the role of Jess's mother, Mrs Bhamra, Chadha turned to Shaheen Khan, whom she had previously cast in Bhaji on the Beach. Anupam Kher, a Bollywood actor, was cast as Mr Bhamra, Jess's father. Chadha worked with The Football Association and ended up casting actual players from a variety of school teams.

[18] Combined, the film drew at least 8.11 million UK viewership during 2003 and 2005.

Chadha’s goal of making a film to try and “make people understand what it feels like to be different”, especially in a world as divided by hate as ours was during the War on Terror, resonated with a generation of migrant communities.Stevenson, now 65, has since appeared in Mona Lisa Smile, Being Julia, Diana and The Letters, the latter of which involved her curious casting as the late Mother Theresa. Anyway, being a lesbian's not that big a deal… oh no, of course not sweetheart. I mean, I've got nothing against it. I was cheering for Martina Navratilova as much as the next person." She is also among the characters we see navigating through British society with a home life so different to that culture. Principal photography began on 18 June 2001. A variety of locations around London and Shepperton Studios, Surrey were used for the nine-week shoot, with the semi-final taking place over a three-day period in Hamburg, Germany. [12] Casting [ edit ] The film was situated in Hounslow in West London. When Jess is told by her friend and team-mate Jules - played by Keira Knightley - that she wants to be a professional footballer, her reaction is of the time.

They're one-liners, ultimately, but behind each word sits a plot each character is navigating while trying to create their own identity. It's hilarious In 2009, Panjabi was cast as a regular in US legal drama The Good Wife with Julianna Margulies, where she remained for six seasons in the popular show as mysterious personal investigator Kalinda Sharma. Don't worry, with one of our designs even these mosquito bites will look like juicy, juicy mangoes!"

She moved on to Blind Spot afterwards, as well as appearing in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I Know This Much Is True and HBO comedy Run with Domhnall Gleeson. It's one reason the film is so relatable for anyone whose parents have wanted them to focus on education - or getting a job, or married - instead of playing sport.
