chak de india:my review

The film starts with Kabir Khan failing 2 score a penalty shot and our Team India loses the final against PAKis in da final of World cup. He is labelled as traitor and he goes in oblivion to resurface after 7 years to take up da challenge as the Coach of Indian National Women’s Hockey team(loosely based on the true story of former hockey goalkeeper and coach Mir Ranjan Negi, who was charged with allegations of match-fixing after India’s humiliating defeat to Pakistan in the 1982 Asian Games hockey final. Seven years later, Negi’s honour was restored. He coached the national women’s hockey team that won gold at the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games).
Kabir Khan (Shah Rukh), former hockey captain of India, returns to the field as the coach of the Indian women’s national hockey team that exists more on paper and less in reality.The team is a bunch of girls with their own agenda.How kabir handels them,how he changes them and how in the end these girls brings kabirs lost respect back is the main story.The screenplay and script was quite good. Great Script by Jaideep Sahni.All the 5 major girls deleivered very good performances well i liked most out of them was komal chautala followed closely by angry punjaban. Shahrukh khan was excellent from start till end.Some of the scenes really stand out especially the girls intro,their pre interval carnage and finally the climax.Its a must watch movie and most importantly watch it for direction of shimit,great scriptwork from jaideep and finally srk ,his acting, expressions, screen presence, dialogue delivery all looks perfect this one comes in his top performances along with Kabhi haan Kabhi naa,Devdas & SWADES.All and all brave effort of Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni.Must watch it once for a bunch of actors who really fitted on to their roles.
