Definitely worth watching....

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2007)

I have a fact to admit, i am no longer a SRK fan, especially after Veer Zaara.......
The guy has done too few good roles after 2002, Swades being the only remarkable one.......
But then comes Chak De India, and boy-o-boy, he's all over the place!! The stubble, the subtle demeanour, the imposing training regime, everything has the vintage SRK charm in it.....He is brilliant in this movie, no sugar-dosed emotions, no giggles, a pure performance from the bottom of his heart.......
Moving to the movie,it definitely works like a spell for the fading national sport...The film is accurate in most places, but hockey fans can point out clitches in some places.....All 16 girls have done a good job, especially the ex-captain Bindiya Naik n the haryanwi brat Komal Chautala.....
The direction is taut, the screenplay could've been better in some places......But the Background score is wonderful, comparable to 'Goal' movies....Sukhwinder does wonders wid his one song...The movie is definitelty paisa-wasool, n much more than that for all SRK fans!!!
Chak De, Chak De India!!!!!
