Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Underdog athlete triumphs against all the odds and finds more than mere victory in the bargain--it's a cinematic tradition that stretches considerably beyond the Rocky franchise. But this 2002 UK hit about an East Asian immigrant teen who dreams of becoming a soccer star puts a winning new trans-cultural spin on the formula. The film's song-score is as savory, playful and determined as the film itself, a rich collection of mostly contemporary tracks that shakes up an evocative cocktail of pop infused with soul, club mixes, cool jazz, new wave, traditional Indian flourishes, and even a parting, triumphant shot of Puccini. Victoria Beckham, former Spice Girl and wife of titular inspiration/soccer legend David Beckham weighs in with the breathy neo-disco of "I Wish," while fellow Spicester Mel C offers up the sprightly pop of "Independence Day." But it's the dizzying array of transplanted Indian pop music--oft-performed by the winning team of Brit Billy Sagoo and American vocalist Gunjan--that makes the album such a winning delight. This is world music with a dancefloor beat and a smile. --Jerry McCulley

Football for All.......2007-05-14

A very nice film, family style for a nice afternoon or evening at home, for those who love football it's a light comedy that brings in the right blend of global culture mix in that we live coupled with some other issues that we all have to deal with some time or the other. Very entertaining!

Cool, Chill out tracks from India.......2007-02-21

After listening a few times to this CD, you'll forget it's a Soundtrack to a movie because of the mainly Asian Indidan artists/singers featured, although a few dialogue from the movie has been inserted here and there,
". . . look down, don't smile, Indian Brides don't smile, you'll ruin the bloody video!"
The stand out song for me is "Noorie." Whatever she's singing about, it must be good, myself not understanding any Hindi or maybe its in Punjabi. The singer has this begging, sexy voice. I am convince she's singing about a lost love or some orgasmic encounter, please don't tell me the song is about cooking Aloo Gobi. Anyway, if you're looking for some really cool, chill out tracks from Indian, this soundtrack will fit the bill. Overall, it has that world music quality that appeals to willing ears: rhymthmic drums, infectious beat and exotic melodies. Highly recommended, gets you in the mood for some Indian food.

One song makes the whole CD great!.......2007-02-16

I've read the other reviews, and people seem to hate the song by Victoria Beckham (I Wish). Those people are completely crazy. The 2 best sogns on here are I Wish and Independence Day. They are both by former Spice Girls.

This soundtrack rocks, although I didn't really care for the movie.

Customer Reviews:

Great Soundtrack.......2006-08-28

What a great collection of music and a fine introduction to bhangra for anyone who has felt an attraction to it but was unsure where to start. I agree that the absence of "Dream the dream" is a terrible oversight on someone's part but that track may be present as a hidden, last track on the All Saints all hits cd. I have not had the chance to find out first hand yet. This (the India) version of the soundtrack is the one I went for and I have no regrets.

One of the best soundtracks EVER.......2006-04-16

Starting from the catchy "Atomic" by Blondie, this CD is 100% a feel-good journey. It reflects the movie in its cultural fusion - it blends Western and Indian music, so that each track is an essential part of the experience. I love all the songs on it, except for "Baddest Ruffest", which I've unchecked on my iTunes playlist.

Favourite tracks: "Atomic" by Blondie, "Darshan" by B21, "Kinna Sohna" by Bally Sagoo, and "Inner Smile" by Texas. You'll be dancing and grooving throughout the entire CD, and by the end you'll be grinning to no end.

I promise you'll never get tired of listening to it!

I LOVE THIS MUSIC!.......2004-09-22

I got the US version of the BILB soundtrack first, and it's probably my favorite CD ever... I swear I have listened to it thousands of times. It is a wonderful collection for anyone who liked the movie to any extent, and also just a fun mix, great for road trips!

I agree that the lack of Shaznay Lewis' "Dream the Dream" is a terrible loss to all the versions of the soundtrack... will someone please publish that song already?! I have been looking for it forever...

The Indian version has the Curtis Mayfield song, while the UK version has the Basement Jaxx song. Pick which you like better. I also recommend buying the imports used, or new from another seller, because they are much cheaper!

For anyone who wants to continue their exploration of Bhangra and Indian pop after this wonderful exposure (like I did!) I recommend the collection called "Bhangra Beatz". Enjoy!

please help!.......2004-09-10

Hello. I love "Bend it Like Beckham!" I watch this movie every other day. I heard that there are different versions of the soundtract. Can anyone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me find the CD version that has the song that was played the night they went to the club in Germany. Not the songs in the actual club but the Indian song that played when Jes came outside in the nice outfit (after her makeover) right before they went to the club. I really, really like this song and would like to get it. If it's not on any of the versions, can someone tell me the name so that I can get it. Thanks! :D

Looking for Curtis Mayfield???.......2004-07-23

If you're looking for the Curtis Mayfield track 'Move On Up' (one of the best songs from the movie in my opinion) click on the picture of the cd so that you can 'see larger picture' for either of the import cd's. You will notice that you can clearly see some of the artists featured on each cd. One of the import cd's (the cheaper one I think) lists 'Curtis Mayfield'. Just a heads up for anyone who wants to find that track. Hope this was useful!

The name of this song???.......2007-02-05

Whats the name of that song thats playing when Jess pretends that shes sick at home while her family goes out somewhere just so she can sneak out and go play footy?

Great regardless of version - and there are 5 differences between Brit & Indian versions.......2006-10-31

This is a great soundtrack - found some Indian songs I'd never even heard of that I really like, especially "Jind Mahi" by Malkit Singh and "Tere Bin Nahin Lagda" by Partners In Rhyme with Nusrat Faten Ali.

Buyers should note that are indeed differences between the British (22 tracks) and Indian (21 tracks) versions. Make sure you order the one you really want by confirming with individual sellers about which edition they're actually selling. I myself ordered the British and received the Indian.

Here are the differences that really haven't been described accurately in previous reviews.

The British and American versions have these exclusive tracks:
Titles - Craig Pruess And Bally Sagoo Ft Gunjan
Hai Rabai - Craig Pruess And Bally Sagoo Ft Gunjan

The British version has this exclusive track:
Do Your Thing - Basement Jaxx

The Indian version has these exclusive tracks:
Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield
Rail Gaddi - Kuljit Bhamra

So basically there are five differences in total between the British and Indian versions while the American version is the most watered down.

Song at end between Jess and Joe on football field.......2006-01-07

I am begging anyone at all to help me.
I know this has been asked before repeatedly but if anyone knows the title of the song (possibly Indian) at the end where Jess finds Joe in the dark on the football field I would love you forever if you told me.
Not only is this my favourite piece of music, but i also I feel this is the ultimate piece for conveying powerful emotions and meaning and shows us how we should appreciate everything we have.
Help me please find it.

Song while Jess tells Joe she can go to California.......2005-11-29

I thought the soundtrack to "Bend it Like Beckham" had quite a few really good songs, but I was disappointed that more Indian songs weren't included. Does anyone know what the song is called when Jess runs up to Joe at the soccer field to tell him that she can go to school in California?

The Last Song - While at the airport.......2005-11-19

I am trying to find the last song when they were saying goodbye at the airport. Does anyone know name and title??
