Be united and not divided.

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2007)

This is the film in which you will feel engrossed fully without any aloofness even though it is sports film based on Hockey and also not any romantic angle in the film. Here director succeeds in conveying message to its target audience by taking sports background of Hockey. The strong part of the film is its script and its perfect execution. Shahrukh khan made justice to the role of Coach and girl actresses are also very good and they acted very well. So over all impact of the film is very good. Many prevalent issues have been focused here such as country feeling, problem of state feeling overshadowing country feeling, unity, women rights, caste system, language problem, gender bias etc. Though two major issues focused in the film are about women rights and prevalent problem of state feeling overshadowing country feeling.
There were days when women were forced to marry at early age by leaving their study. Afterwards they were used to be puppet of men who want them to be inside kitchen and expect them to serve the family and borne and brought up child. And so there was no way to participate in any sport. The days are gone where women were restricted from going outside and work. Today in urban society women are more liberal but still today this is not the case for women of rural India.
I saw in abroad that people of different states of India are reckoning themselves by state name in spite of country name and fighting and arguing with each other by making belittle to other state. They used to say pompously to their countrymen that they are from particular state. This is really sad. Actually they must not indulge in such pity instead they must happily greet their countrymen. Country feeling is must and we must not divide ourselves between states. Country is always first and than state comes. This is always true for any sport team of any country to succeed and also people of any country need to be united to make progress of any country commercially.
So be united and not divided to make developed India from developing India.
