Chak De India - Review

Its amazing to see how sports and patriotism formulates a success story at the box office.
Its been experimented earlier with hits like Awwal Number,Lagaan,Iqbal, etc., and Chak De India does it again.

Story Plot:
Chak de India is the story of Kabir Khan (SRK),
who was part of successful Indian National Hockey team but unfortunately ends his career with the tag of a traitor.
7 years later he volunteers to coach for the Indian women hockey team which is hopeless.
But how Kabir turns its tide into a world-class team which also helps him gaining his lost glory is what movie all about.


Positives:
If you go with the your chaddy-buddys to watch this movie,
I will promise you that you will cheer,enjoy,appluad for the every goal our team scores in the movie.
Apart from SRK, each role is carefully chosen and great response from all the artists. Credits to Shimit Amin.
Truly admirable story narration and direction. Guys watch out for Preeti in the movie... ;-)
Its a must watch for SRK-haters who complains about him being stereotypic actor. He answers you all.
In one of the scenes when women's team get indulged in a fight with a group of men and one of those men, tries to hit a woman with a cricket bat
from back... SRK stops him and tells, "Agar waar karna hai to age se karo, kyon ki hamare game me 'chakke' nahin hote..!"
The theatre automatically bursts into laughter and applause with appreciation.


Negatives:
The only set back of the movie is its music which is a must for Indian movies to make it a big hit.


Box office prediction:
It would not be fair to compare this with Lagaan but I would like to mention two key points why this movie should score more goals than Lagaan.
1. Lagaan's plot was safe as Cricket was its soul and cricket is already a religion India. But credits to Chak de for choosing a less-popular sport hockey.
2. The theme of Chak de, "Giving equal importance to women, especially in sports" is well portrayed.
To sum up its 7.5/10 for Shimit-Amin's efforts which surely will not disappoint you.
