Badshah Meets Messi’s Magic? Everything About ‘52 Blue’ & The Kerala Connection!

Imagine a young boy sitting on a quiet island in Kerala, dreaming not of engineering or medicine, but of meeting the God of Football Lionel Messi. Sounds like a dream many of us have had, right? Well, this dream is coming to the big screen in a massive international movie called ‘52 Blue’, and guess what? India’s rap king Badshah is providing the soundtrack!

If you love football, emotional desi stories, or just vibing to Badshah’s beats, this news is for you. Let’s break down what this movie is about and why it’s making headlines from Mumbai to Qatar.

Badshah’s New Avatar: ‘It’s Your Turn’

We all know Badshah for his party anthems like DJ Waley Babu or Garmi. But for ‘52 Blue’, he is doing something different. Director Ali El Arabi (an award-winning filmmaker from Egypt) has roped in Badshah to create the official song for the movie, titled ‘It’s Your Turn’.

This isn’t just a dance number. According to the team, this track is the "heartbeat" of the film. It captures that feeling of struggle, hope, and the moment you decide to stop waiting and start chasing your dreams. As Badshah himself said, it’s about that "big, impossible, sometimes lonely" dream we all grow up with.

The Story: From Kerala to Qatar World Cup

The story of ‘52 Blue’ feels very personal to us Indians.

• The Hero: It follows Ashish (played by Yadav Shashidhar), a simple boy living on a remote island in Kerala.

• The Dream: Despite his strict father saying "no," Ashish wants to go to the Qatar 2022 World Cup to meet his idol, Messi.

• The Family: The film stars two powerhouse Indian actors—Neha Dhupia (playing the supportive mother) and Adil Hussain (playing the concerned father).

We all know how crazy Kerala is about football. During the World Cup, you see huge cutouts of Messi and Neymar in the rivers and streets of Kochi and Malappuram. This movie captures exactly that passion!

Why This is a Big Deal for Indian Cinema

Usually, we see Hollywood movies or Bollywood movies separately. But ‘52 Blue’ is a true global collaboration.

1. International Crew: Produced by Ambient Light (USA/Egypt), directed by an Egyptian, but the soul is Indian.

2. Real vs. Fiction: The movie blends a fictional story with real documentary footage from the 2022 World Cup. You get to see the glamour of the stadium and the hard work of the people behind the scenes.

3. Indian Talent on Global Stage: Seeing Neha Dhupia, Adil Hussain, and Badshah represent India in such a massive project is a proud moment.

When Can We See It?

The official trailer featuring Badshah’s song ‘It’s Your Turn’ is dropping very soon. The song will also be released as a single track, so get ready to add it to your motivational playlist!

Verdict: Whether you are a Messi fan, a Badshah fan, or just love a good "underdog wins" story (like Gully Boy or Slumdog Millionaire), ‘52 Blue’ is a movie to watch out for.
