deanshine To begin with, the storyline was well written. A hockey coach who wants to redeem himself from all the hate he got as a player, its a movie that doesn't come along very often. SRK has been severely criticised for his recent movies, but that doesn't take away the fact that he is an outstanding actor, and that is clearly evident in this movie. Every word that he said made you feel like he meant it, it was one of the best performances by him, or if not the best. Honestly, if some other actor, say Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan, Kamal Hasan or Mammooty played this role, it wouldn't have the rating it has now. No one else could play the role better than he can. I'm not saying this because I'm a huge fan, it's because it's the truth that has to be accepted. This isn't the first time he has produced some top notch performances. He has delivered them as the romantic Aman in Kal Ho Naa Ho, and of course, Mohan Bhargava, the NASA engineer in the National Award winning movie Swades...

piyushsneh-sneh ***Spoiler's Alert***Storyline: The story of the movie mostly revolves around how a former Indian hockey player who performed badly during his last tournament, finally lead Indian women's hockey team to world cup victory as a coach. He previously in his life failed to score during world cup final which ultimately resulted in Pakistan winning the world cup. He was mostly blamed for the defeat of Indian hockey team and people thought that he was more inclined towards the opponent team mostly because of his religion.The thing to watch is that how he unites an average looking Indian women's hockey team, and instills the feeling of true sportsman spirit and patriotism.Music: Intensity of the music perfectly suited the movie. It was energetic and good to listen to. Cinematography: It's slightly above average, but moments during the match were nicely captured. Acting: Shahrukh Khan was amazing and truly justified his character of Kabir Khan as coach. Other actors who played the roles several players in the Indian women's hockey team also did a fantastic job. It was a consistent performance throughout.Overall it's a must watch movie for both Shahrukh lovers and movie lovers. This movie would definitely lift the Bollywood standards.

ItsMeSatvik This YashRaj production with Shahrukh with no melodrama, no parental opposition, no romance but still went on to touch the hearts of the audience. CHAK DE India, directed by Shimit Amin, opens a new territory. A territory of emotions, inspirations and love for our national sport. The movie is about a man who tries to prove his dedication and love for the nation after being labeled as traitor by the people of his own nationKabir Khan(Shah Rukh Khan) in the movie went on to miss the last-minute penalty shoot out against Pakistan in the world finals. This penalty shoot-out changed his life so much so that he was betrayed by his own country. Later Kabir Khan, returns as the coach of Indian women hockey team, a team that is just on papers. The movie is about using everything that life hurls on them as a weapon to fight their enemies.The direction of the movie is such that till the last penalties one remains excited. Even though it is a bollywood movie and one knows India is going to win. But the direction grips us to our seats with the excitement of what is going to happen nextI really liked the way Shahrukh Khan used his facial expressions and intense eyes to his advantage, with utmost conviction SRK played a man simmering and seething within. The acting of girls in the hockey team was also praiseworthy.Chak De India may not be the best bollywood movie to watch but is it among really good movies that Bollywood has produced. It was much more than my expectation from YashRaj production and Shahrukh Khan. I feel that a lot of credits must be given to the director of the movie, Shimit Amin who did such an awesome work in his second movie. I am also glad to mention that the movie went on to win 8 best movie awards including International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) awards in 2008.At the end I would like to applaud the Indian team for winning silver medal in Commonwealth Games 2014 and is eagerly waiting for the day when Indian will again win gold in their national sport, Hockey.

MovieInspector Shahrukh Khan stars in "ChakDe! India" as a former Indian national hockey player and someone, in his own words, who wants to defeat the reason why he lost out in his own career by this time coaching the Indian women's hockey team to world cup glory. For him, it's all about believing that you can win, and he makes this clear quite often.Equal opportunities in sport (something we all take for granted), religion, self-belief and teamwork are themes central to "ChakDe! India" have been cleverly handled by director Shimit Amin.Shahrukh's performance is brilliant; one can totally understand why he won filmfare best actor for this. Out of the team of girls, the performances that stand out are those by Shilpa Shukla (as Bindia), Sagarika Ghatge (as Preeti), Chitrashi Rawal (as Komal) and Tanya Abrol (as Balbir). Director Shimit Amin has done a good job with this. He clearly is a very talented director and this is evident in every frame of the movie.The screenplay works great and the cinematography is brilliant. From the soundtrack, "Chak De India" is the most memorable song and is probably the best song from the list.Verdict: A national award winning sports masterpiece from Yash Raj Films that should not be missed!! I give it 9/10.
