fails to make you say CHAK DE....

Rating: 4/10 (10 August 2007)

exactly a year after the release of his last film king khan brings to us his latest "blockbuster" chak de India
chak de India is one of the most clichéd sports films i have ever seen. even a five year old kid can guess most of the story within the beginning five minutes of the film. the screenplay is as bad as it can get , and is quite boring for a sports film. this accompanied by very ordinary camera work and equally predictable direction produces what is ideally a 3 hour long snore fest. the music of the film is just about passable with salim sulaiman failing to produce an apt back ground score. the film is so predictable that it fails to generate any kind of excitement among the so called multiplex viewers. the performances of the players are very good and are amongst the only few things worth looking out for in this movie. sharukh khan does well in his role of the coach of the Indian womens hockey team though his performance leaves a lot to be desired. all in all chak de India is clichéd film with a few nice moments which you would find entertaining if you are a fan of the yashraj banner and their type of films. but if you are a serious and matured film enthusiast like me you would do better to keep of this film.
