- It's about a girl trying to break free of her family, but not always being succesful. It's PG13 and isn't very appropriate for everyone, but I still like it! She is inspired to play soccer (football) by the famous player David Beckham
- victorriaabout 12 yearsthis was so cool it was amazing like their indian thisv wasv so cool it was amazing like their indian
- This is a movie about an Indian girl who lives in England. She is surrounded by soccer (Football in England), romance and Indian culture. She gets in trouble because she goes along with English culture. PG-13 because of language and other stuff, but not scary.
