EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI

Before you read my complete review, I present a set of questions before you. The answers are there for you to see but get the answers yourself after watching the movie.

Q.Is Chak De India a good movie?
A: It is one of the best movies made in the last decade or so.

Q.Is Chak De..a masala entertainer?
A.It is a complete entertainer.

Q.Any love angle in the film?
A. Yes, there is love for one’s country, its pride, its honour and, hockey of course.

Q.What is Chak De India all about?
A. Chak De India is all about playing for your dignity and respect.

India celebrates 60 years of glory, courage and freedom with the release of Chak De India. The wait is over for the first movie on the game of hockey to release. Yes, Chak De India, directed by Shimit Amin is a sure shot winner at the box office. King Khan leaves you mesmerized with a gala cinematic experience. The film is fused with the elements of slick storyline, energetic performances and great field emotions.

Chak De India deserves to be a hit in true aspects of technical proficiency. The film presents an exciting perspective on a simple plot, with a dose of laughs and shudders. For me, Chak De India stands out from the rest so far this year.

The plot of Chak De… begins with the final match between the two nations India and Pakistan. A lost penalty goal by India’s caption Kabir Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) costs the result of the match in the oppositions favour. He is suspected of conspiring with the Pakistani team.

Termed as a traitor (Gaddaar), it takes seven long years for Kabir to wash the stains of humility by becoming the coach of Indian Women hockey team. The task ahead of Kabir is to prepare a team for the upcoming Hockey World Cup in Austrailia. In the end, its Kabir and hockey who emerge as the true winners.
