Product Description
-------------------
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?
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.
Review
------
With a strong screenplay, Shimit s direction is first rate. He
has ensured there isnt even a single dull moment. Every scene
makes a impact. Also the feel of the movie is so real that it
makes you cheer and pray for the team to win. The background
music is brilliant so is the cinematography.
Shahrukh Khan is the heart and soul of Chak De India. He has just
delivered arguably his best performances in his career. It fills
your heart with happiness to see the actor in Shahrukh in full
form. He portrays the role of Hockey coach with a lot of dignity,
intensity and charm. Undoubtedly the best performance of the
year. The team of girls are exceptionally good. Characters of
Preethi and Komal stand out.
Overall, this is a must watch for every Indian. The performances,
the screenplay, the direction are just perfect. You cant ask or
expect more. Is there a negative? Yup, the intermission.. It
makes you restless!! --platform47.com
