Chak De India-2007 This YashRaj production with Shahrukh with no melodrama, no parental opposition, no romance but still went on to touch the hearts of the audience. CHAK DE INDIA, directed by Shimit Amin, opens a new territory. A territory of emotions, inspirations and love for our national sport. The movie is about a man who tries to prove his dedication and love for the nation after being labeled as traitor by the people of his own nation Kabir Khan(Shah Rukh Khan) in the movie went on to miss the last-minute penalty shoot out against Pakistan in the world finals. This penalty shoot-out changed his life so much so that he was betrayed by his own country. Later Kabir Khan, returns as the coach of Indian women hockey team, a team that is just on papers. The movie is about using everything that life hurls on them as a weapon to fight their enemies. The direction of the movie is such that till the last penalties one remains excited. Even though it is a bollywood movie and one knows India is going to win. But the direction grips us to our seats with the excitement of what is going to happen next I really liked the way Shahrukh Khan used his facial expressions and intense eyes to his advantage, with utmost conviction SRK played a man simmering and seething within. The acting of girls in the hockey team was also praiseworthy. Chak De India may not be the best bollywood movie to watch but is it among really good movies that Bollywood has produced. It was much more than my expectation from YashRaj production and Shahrukh Khan. I feel that a lot of credits must be given to the director of the movie, Shimit Amin who did such an awesome work in his second movie. I am also glad to mention that the movie went on to win 8 best movie awards including International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) awards in 2008. At the end I would like to applaud the Indian team for winning silver medal in Commonwealth Games 2014 and is eagerly waiting for the day when Indian will again win gold in their national sport, Hockey..
