New Delhi, With just few hours to go before
world's biggest football tournament FIFA
world cup 2014 kicks off, we can see how
people are getting gripped by World Cup
fever. Being an Indian it is obvious for us to
be expert on two topics: Movies and cricket.
But since its 'FIFA' let’s keep cricket aside and
focus on football. The splendid hues of
football can be seen all over of the
world.Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are
the heroes on football ground but John
Abraham and Parminder Nagra are our
Bollywood 'footballer' heroes. The restaurants
are set with special FIFA cuisines, we can see
different T-shirts with player’s name, and
India is all set to enjoy the spectacular game
of football for complete one month.When the
entire world is drenched in the colours of
FIFA world cup, why should we Indians be left
behind? Let's enjoy the FIFA in our own 'desi'
style. Since, we Indians are obsessed with
Bollywood movies, then here’s a look at
different Indian movies that are based on
football. Bend it Like Beckham- 'Bend It Like
Beckham' is a comedy-drama film starring
Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley, Jonathan
Rhys-Meyers, Anupam Kher, Shaznay Lewis,
and Archie Panjabi, first released in the
United Kingdom. The film was directed by
Gurinder Chadha. Its title refers to the
football player David Beckham and his skill at
scoring from free kicks by bending the ball
past a wall of defenders

Kambakkth Ishq explores the relationship between two individuals so chalk-and-cheesely different from each other that no matter how many times they are pushed together, there’s just fireworks … no fire. Viraj Shergill (Akshay Kumar) is a swashbuckling stuntman in Hollywood who lives by the mantra “women are only good for two things … making love & making love” Simrita Rai (Kareena Kapoor) is a firebrand who is more than able to stare down the most arrogant male with her caustic wit and sardonic tongue ... her firm belief “all men are dogs” Forces of nature make sure the two people who hate each the most are thrown together in the most absurd, hilarious situations until one dramatic twist of fate binds the two together in a manner that they could never ever have even dreamed of in their wildest fantasies. If there ever was a marriage between the east and the west, a romantic comedy and Action, Hollywood and Bollywood … this would be it.
