Chak De India-2007 This YashRaj production with Shahrukh still no melodrama, no parental opposition, no romance but still went on to touch the hearts of the audience. CHAK DE INDIA, directed by Shmit 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) played the role of centre-forward in Indian hockey team in the movie and 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 team, people of his own country. But seven years later Kabir Khan, comes back but not as centre forward but as the coach of Indian women hockey team, a team that is just on papers, a team that used to play for themselves not for their country. The movie deals with teaching the team different skills and plans, playing as a team and adapting different styles and technique againt different teams. It is about using everything that life hurls on them as a weapon to fight their enemies. If you will watch the movie you will definately feel excited. The direction is such that during the last panelties one remains excited till the end. Even though it is a bollywood movie and one knows India is going to win. But the dirction grips us to our seats with the excitment of what is going to happen next I had never seen Shah Rukh in such an inspirational role. I really liked the way he used his facial expressions and intense eyes to his advantage, with utmost conviction SRK played a man simmering and seething within. Also apart from SRK the acting of girls in the women hockey team was praiseworthy. Chak De India may not be the best bolloywood movie to watch but is it among really good movies that Bolloywood 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 National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment and 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..
