| Jo nahin ho sakta hai, wahi to karna hai... Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) knows what it's like to come back from the dead. The ex Indian Captain has now come back in the avatar of the Coach of the Indian Women's National Hockey team. A team that exists more on paper and less in reality. The team is a rag-tag bunch of girls with their own agenda. A bunch of girls who have forgotten what it is like to play for the love of the game. Of playing because you want glory for your country. Not because you want a pensioned job or a government flat. They have all forgotten the sharp thrill of just holding the hockey stick, keeping their eyes on the ball and playing for all they are worth. They have played every game but hockey to make sure they get selected every year in the Indian National team. But what does it really mean to play for the Indian National team? To play for India? Mujhe sirf ek mulk ka naam sunaai deta hai - India The girls have never known the thrilling energy of being Team India. Of giving their all to see their country's name on a trophy. But Kabir Khan, once a captain, now forgotten, does. He knows what it takes to get there. And what it means to return empty handed. This time, he wants to make sure that it's different. He knows there are no second chances. Despite his past, he believes that if only the girls played as one, anything would be possible. Because Kabir Khan believes that it is not that we can't win. It's just that we have never believed we can. Chak De India is the story of a coach's fight of making his team, Team India by overcoming their diverse backgrounds, by learning to use everything that life hurls on them as a secret weapon. It's a story about honesty, sincerity and integrity. A story to remind the nation of its National sport. |

Worth a watch  |

| A decent movie based on sports which is a rare thing in bollywood. SRK and couple of girls acted well. |

Entertaining, impelling and manipulative  |

| It is a brilliantly entertaining movie. Acting from all girls were superb with special mentions (along with the other attractions) of Shilpa Shukla (as Bindiya Naik -- a subdued sex appeal), Chitrashi Rawat (as Chitrashi Rawat -- likeable), Sagarika Ghatge (as Preeti Sabarwal -- very hot looking), Vidya Malvade (as Captain of the team, Vidya Sharma -- cute looking), Anaitha Nair (as Aliya Bose -- very sexy) and Tanya Abrol (as Balbir Kaur). All the other girls excelled in one or the other scene as got their chances. I believe this is Sharukh's (as Kabir Khan) second best performance (after Swades) in his career untill now. He was really brilliant specially before and after the final match. Some of the sceenes (like the match with male hokcey team) seems manipulative but perhaps can be attributed to the cinematic liberty. The dialogues also are also very real. Since I am also actively involved in a sport (not hockey), I can very easily relate to the movie through my coach's (also an assistant coach of the current US national team of the sport) devotion and approach towards a sport in general. A must watch both for entertainment and inspirational value. |
