COMPETITION: Win a copy of Blinded by the Light on DVD

Paul Moore

Blinded by The Light

The perfect Christmas gift for fans of Bruce Springsteen.

Despite the fact that he turned 70 in 2019, there are no signs of Bruce Springsteen slowing down as the rock ‘n roll icon had one of his busiest years to date.

Then again, he did say that “tramps like us, baby, we were born to run!”

For Springsteen fans everywhere, not a day goes by when his immortal songs and lyrics don’t carry some sort of significance, which is why we absolutely love Blinded By The Light, the joyous coming-of-age story that’s inspired by the words and music of Springsteen.

To mark the release of Gurinder Chadha’s (Bend It Like Beckham) feelgood film on DVD & Blu-ray, we’ve teamed up with our friends at Universal Pictures Home Entertainment to giveaway five copies of the film on DVD.

Based on Safraz Manzoor’s memoir ‘Greetings from Bury Park: Race, Religion and Rock N’ Roll,’ Blinded by the Light follows the inspirational story of 16-year-old British Pakistani boy, Javed (Viveik Kalra) growing up in the boring, industrial city of Luton in 1987.

Javed wants what all teenagers want: a girlfriend, the freedom to go to parties, but most of all, he wants to be a writer. Unfortunately, his family has other ideas of how Pakistani boys should behave. A chance run-in with a boy at his new school leaves Javed with a Bruce Springsteen cassette tape. When he first hears Springsteen’s music, everything in his life changes.

If you ever felt the need to start ‘Dancing In The Dark,’ then this is the film for you. Hell, even of you’re not a fan of New Jersey’s most famous son, you’ll still love the charms of Blinded By The Light.

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning this prize is answer the very simple question below…
