Her films frequently examine multicultural British life, family expectations and gender, often through comedy-drama storytelling. Bend It Like Beckham (1999) is her best-known international success.

Two DeBaser reviews celebrate Gurinder Chadha's Bend It Like Beckham for its warm, funny treatment of British-Indian identity and girls' passion for football. Reviewers describe personal, emotional reactions and praise the film's handling of family, tradition and gender. Chadha is noted as Kenyan-born and raised in Southall and as a director who focuses on multicultural British life.

For:Fans of British-Indian cinema, readers interested in multicultural coming-of-age films, supporters of women's football and nostalgic filmgoers.

 If I tell you that a film like this has revolutionized my life, I'd be exaggerating. But to say that it struck me, and quite profoundly...that's true.

 A great credit to Kenyan-born Indian director Gurinder Chadha for having directed a choral film that excites and entertains from beginning to end, a fairy tale where the hero...the heroine must overcome many trials before asserting herself.
