Directed by Gurinder Chadha; starring Viveik Kalra, Kulvinder Ghir and Meera Ganatra; at the heart of Blinded By the Light is teenager Javed.

Javed is learning to live life, understand his family and find his own voice, all through the music of Bruce Springsteen.

First, Yesterday (2019), a tribute to The Beatles, and now a tribute to Bruce Springsteen. It’s clearly a good year for teenagers of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. I’m personally aware of the greatness of both musical entities. I just don’t yet have any of their work in my collection or playlist.

However, I can certainly relate to being obsessed with the work of a super musician, and this looks like fun.

Aaron Phagura, Dean-Charles Chapman, Nikita Mehta, Nell Williams, Tara Divina and Rob Brydon also star.

Blinded By The Light Release Dates: August 14th, 2019 (US)…

Hugh Bonneville, Manish Dayal and Gillian Anderson are the stars of Viceroy’s House, a Gurinder Chadha-directed historical drama set in 1947 and centred around Lord Mountbatten’s part in the partition of India.

This is one for those curious about a dramatisation of what they may not already know about India’s history.

Also, quite undeniably, Viceroy’s House is probably quite ideal for the serious Downton Abbey fans. Both productions feature Bonnville. There’s also the upstairs/downstairs dynamic.

Viceroy’s House Release Dates: March 3rd, 2017 (UK); 2017 (US)…
