Jo nahin ho sakta hai, wahi to karna hai""...
Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) knows what it's like to come back from
the dead. The ex Indian Captain has now come back in the avatar
of the Coach of the Indian Women's National Hockey team. A team
that exists more on paper and less in reality.The team is a
rag-tag bunch of girls with their own agenda. A bunch of girls
who have forgotten what it is like to play for the love of the
game. Of playing because you want glory for your country. Not
because you want a pensioned job or a government flat. They have
all forgotten the sharp thrill of just holding the hockey stick,
keeping their eyes on the ball and playing for all they are
worth. They have played every game but hockey to make sure they
get selected every year in the Indian National team. But what
does it really mean to play for the Indian National team? To play
for India?
""Mujhe sirf ek mulk ka naam sunaai deta hai - India""
The girls have never known the thrilling energy of being Team
India. Of giving their all to see their country's name on a
trophy. But Kabir Khan, once a captain, now forgotten, does. He
knows what it takes to get there. And what it means to return
empty handed. This time, he wants to make sure that it's
different. He knows there are no second chances. Despite his
past, he believes that if only the girls played as one, anything
would be possible.Because Kabir Khan believes that it is not that
we can't win. It's just that we have never believed we can.Chak
De India is the story of a coach's fight of making his team, Team
India by overcoming their diverse backgrounds, by learning to use
everything that life hurls on them as a secret weapon. It's a
story about honesty, sincerity and integrity. A story to remind
the nation of its National sport.
Review
------
With a strong screenplay, Shimit s direction is first rate. He
has ensured there isnt even a single dull moment. Every scene
makes a impact. Also the feel of the movie is so real that it
makes you cheer and pray for the team to win. The background
music is brilliant so is the cinematography.
Shahrukh Khan is the heart and soul of Chak De India. He has just
delivered arguably his best performances in his career. It fills
your heart with happiness to see the actor in Shahrukh in full
form. He portrays the role of Hockey coach with a lot of dignity,
intensity and charm. Undoubtedly the best performance of the
year. The team of girls are exceptionally good. Characters of
Preethi and Komal stand out.
Overall, this is a must watch for every Indian. The performances,
the screenplay, the direction are just perfect. You cant ask or
expect more. Is there a negative? Yup, the intermission.. It
makes you restless!! --platform47.com
Chak De India is a beautifully made film that makes you laugh,
makes you cry, gives you goose bumps, and stirs up patriotism
inside you. It is a film that every lover of good cinema must
watch. It is heartening to see Yashraj Films move away from their
stereotypical mushy romances and sentimental family dramas.
Sports, in itself, is not a popular genre in Bollywood. On top of
it, Chak De India has no love angle even though it has Shah Rukh
Khan playing the leading man alongside 16 new girls. Despite so
many odds, Chak De India turns out to be a riveting film.
Reason.... excellent writing (by Jaideep Sahni), well etched-out
characters, brilliant performances (by Shah Rukh, Shilpa Shukla,
Sagarika Ghatge and Chiti Rawat) and, last but not the least,
superb direction by Shimit Amin. Chak De India is not just a
sports film. It is replete with myriad emotions. And the best
part is that Shimit Amin tells the story very realistically,
making it all the more believable. He also doesn't bring any
unnecessary dramatization into the story. --platform47.com
