Chak De... Bollywood

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2007)

As many of us, Indians, thought at first, I too ruled out this movie as just another Hollywood copy. But, I am just back from the theater after watching Chak De.. The movie is far high than expected. Even though, the coach-player formula is very old and a sure shot success in the west, bollywood technicians are also catching up.
The cinematography and the story telling are very refreshing for bollywood standards. Shah Rukh is exceptional in the role. If you want to see Shah Rukh Khan acting, this movie is the best along with Swades. In my opinion, you will be seeing only King Khan in other movies, but not a genuine actor.
The story is simple and always predictable. But, the director made sure that you will not get bored at any point in the movie. The music is very good in the background. The actor's performance is very convincing in their roles. They all are too good for debutantes.
On the whole, Chak de Bollywood. Good movie at last...
A must watch from Indian cinema.
