Chak De India! wins matches..

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2007)

Chak De! India is not a typical Bollywood film. No dancing around trees, no sad or happy songs, it's truly an inspirational movie. I'm not a first-show guy, but when I heard the story of Chak De! (being a sports movie), I rushed for the evening show. Chak De!, one of the least publicized King Khan's movie, stands out among his love dramas. Based on a true story, Chak De! is one of SRK's best performances along with Swades. SRK even grew a beard to bring true Muslim look, which he personally dislikes to keep.
However, its not the SRK but the hockey team of 16 young girls which wins your heart. Each of them being state champions, merges slowly with each other to produce a true Indian Team with no differences. Movie depicts beautifully that how Indians survive and evolve with such high diversity in languages, food habits etc across boundaries. Though none of them are professional actors, they look very natural on screen.
Even if you are not fan of SRK or Hockey, run for the next show as this movie has already been a phenomenon in India. Indian cricket team, hockey team, Olympics team and many others have embraced the slogan "Chak De! India". Go watch it NOW!
