Jess is passionate about football, but her parents do not support her interest, preferring that she focus on academics. However, she sometimes plays in the park with boys, including her best friend, Tony, who is thought to be interested in Jess, but is revealed to be gay later in the film. Jess's family is occupied with planning for the upcoming wedding of her older sister Pinky. </p><p>Jules Paxton, a member of the Hounslow Harriers, a local women's amateur football team, notices Jess's football skills and befriends her, inviting her to try out for the team. The coach, Joe, a young Irish former player whose own career was derailed by injuries, accepts her into the team. Although Jess's parents (mainly her mother) forbid her to join the team, she continues playing in secret, claiming to have a summer job when she is actually at football practice. When Joe learns that Jess is on the team without her parents' permission, he pleads with Mr. Bhamra to allow Jess to play, but he refuses, revealing that he does not want Jess to suffer the way he did when he was excluded from a cricket club because of <a href="/wiki/Anti-Indian_sentiment" title="Anti-Indian sentiment">anti-Indian sentiment</a>. </p><p>With Pinky covering for her, Jess travels with the team to play a match in <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a>; the Harriers lose the match after Jess fails to score a <a href="/wiki/Penalty_kick" class="mw-redirect" title="Penalty kick">penalty kick</a>. When they go out <a href="/wiki/Clubbing_(subculture)" title="Clubbing (subculture)">clubbing</a> in <a href="/wiki/Hamburg" title="Hamburg">Hamburg</a> after the match, Jules catches Joe and Jess about to kiss. This sours the two girls' friendship, as Jules also is attracted to Joe despite denying fancying him when Jess asked her earlier. Furthermore, Jess's parents find out she is still playing football after her father sees a newspaper article about the Hamburg match. After returning, Jess goes to Jules's house to try to patch up their friendship but is rebuffed. Jules's mother, confused by overhearing parts of their argument out of context, thinks they are in a <a href="/wiki/Lesbian" title="Lesbian">lesbian</a> relationship. (Although Jules's father correctly warns his wife that she is possibly jumping to the wrong conclusions, she remains adamant.) </p><p>Jess's father secretly attends one of her games and sees Jess mocked with a racial slur by an opposing player, and Joe hugging her afterward to comfort her. The Harriers qualify for the finals of the league tournament, but the championship match, with an American <a href="/wiki/Talent_scout" class="mw-redirect" title="Talent scout">talent scout</a> in attendance, is to be held on the same day as Pinky's wedding, so Jess resigns herself to missing the game. At Pinky's wedding, Jess is visibly miserable; her father tells her to go to the game so she can be happy on her sister's wedding day. The Harriers are behind 1–0 when Jess arrives, but they rally, and eventually, Jess wins the game with a free kick. The scout offers Jess and Jules <a href="/wiki/Athletic_scholarship" title="Athletic scholarship">sports scholarships</a> at <a href="/wiki/Santa_Clara_University" title="Santa Clara University">Santa Clara University</a> in <a href="/wiki/California" title="California">California</a>. Jules and Jess share a hug and kiss to celebrate, furthering Jules's mother's suspicions. Jess returns to the wedding, happy and able to celebrate. Jules heads to the wedding as well, being given a ride by her mother, who, upon arriving, confronts Jess and accuses her of being a hypocrite and a lesbian. Jules drags her mother away, angrily clarifying her friendship with Jess and her sexual orientation. </p><p>Later that day, Jess has still not told her parents about the scholarship; she is afraid they might not allow her to go to the United States on her own. Tony, attempting to help Jess, decides to lie to the family and tell them he will get engaged to Jess as long as she gets to go to any college she wants. The Bhamras happily accept, but Jess immediately confesses the truth. Jess's mother ignores Jess's heartfelt speech and scolds Jess's father for letting Jess leave Pinky's wedding. But her father announces he doesn't want Jess to suffer as he did and accepts her desire to play football, eventually leading her mother to finally accept it as well. Jess runs to the football field to tell Joe of her parents' decision. The two almost kiss, but Jess pulls away, saying her parents would object, and that although they had come far enough to let her go to the United States to play, she doesn't think they would be able to handle another cultural rebellion from her. </p><p>On the day of Jess and Jules's flight to the United States, the two are about to board the plane when Joe arrives and confesses his love for Jess. The two kiss secretly and Jess agrees to sort out their relationship (and her parents) when she returns for Christmas. While at the airport, they see <a href="/wiki/David_Beckham" title="David Beckham">David Beckham</a> with his wife <a href="/wiki/Victoria_Beckham" title="Victoria Beckham">Victoria</a>, which Jules takes as a good sign. The two leave through the gate waving happily to their families. </p><p>While Jess and Jules are away, they send a team photo indicating their continued success in football. Pinky is revealed to be pregnant and Mr. Bhamra gets back into playing cricket and is seen playing outside with Joe and Pinky's husband. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bend_It_Like_Beckham&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Parminder_Nagra" title="Parminder Nagra">Parminder Nagra</a> as Jesminder "Jess" Kaur Bhamra</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Keira_Knightley" title="Keira Knightley">Keira Knightley</a> as Juliette "Jules" Paxton</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Archie_Panjabi" title="Archie Panjabi">Archie Panjabi</a> as "Pinky" Kaur Bhamra</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jonathan_Rhys_Meyers" title="Jonathan Rhys Meyers">Jonathan Rhys Meyers</a> as Joe</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Shaznay_Lewis" title="Shaznay Lewis">Shaznay Lewis</a> as Marlena "Mel" Goines</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Anupam_Kher" title="Anupam Kher">Anupam Kher</a> as Mohaan Singh Bhamra</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Shaheen_Khan_(British_actress)" title="Shaheen Khan (British actress)">Shaheen Khan</a> as Mrs "Sukhi" Kaur Bhamra</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frank_Harper" title="Frank Harper">Frank Harper</a> as Alan Paxton</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Juliet_Stevenson" title="Juliet Stevenson">Juliet Stevenson</a> as Paula Paxton</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ameet_Chana" title="Ameet Chana">Ameet Chana</a> as Tony</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kulvinder_Ghir" title="Kulvinder Ghir">Kulvinder Ghir</a> as Tejinder "Teetu"</li> <li>Ash Varrez as Teetu's dad</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Pooja_Shah" title="Pooja Shah">Pooja Shah</a> as Meena</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Preeya_Kalidas" title="Preeya Kalidas">Preeya Kalidas</a> as Monica</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Trey_Farley" class="mw-redirect" title="Trey Farley">Trey Farley</a> as Taz</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Zohra_Sehgal" title="Zohra Sehgal">Zohra Sehgal</a> as Biji</li> <li>Saraj Chaudhry as Sonny</li> <li>Paven Virk as Bubbly</li> <li>Emma Daly as team player</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nina_Wadia" title="Nina Wadia">Nina Wadia</a> as Wedding Caterer</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Ace_Bhatti" title="Ace Bhatti">Ace Bhatti</a> as Nairobi Grandson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gary_Lineker" title="Gary Lineker">Gary Lineker</a> as himself</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Alan_Hansen" title="Alan Hansen">Alan Hansen</a> as himself</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Barnes_(footballer)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Barnes (footballer)">John Barnes</a> as himself</li></ul></div> <p>Additionally <a href="/wiki/David_Beckham" title="David Beckham">David</a> and <a href="/wiki/Victoria_Beckham" title="Victoria Beckham">Victoria Beckham</a> appear in non-speaking cameos in the airport scene at the film's conclusion. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bend_It_Like_Beckham&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Gurinder Chadha co-wrote the script with Guljit Bindra and screenwriting partner Paul Mayeda Berges.
