Chak De India – an attempt to review

I never admired any of Shahrukh's previous movies...barring DDLJ…but I guess this movie is an exception.

Truckload of senti, love, tears and happines (in the end ) is what you expect from a Shahrukh flick. Chak De India is no exception. Senti…loads of it. Love…for the country and the game - hockey! Tears…abundant! Happiness…of course! But...one thing that makes it all a wonderful product is the technical brilliance that connects all the above said sh*t.

Quite a few sport-based movies have been made in the small history that Bollywood boasts of. One movie that stood out, according to me, was Lagaan. But, Lagaan lacked the depth in terms of the technicalities that go into playing the game of cricket...u can never imagine such lackluster bunch of players fighting for India. This is where Chak De scores. It captures the technicalities that go into playing the game of hockey to such an extent that you actually believe that it is indeed a national women’s team that you are watching on the big screen. This brilliance actually makes the whole Shahrukh sh*t believable! Kudos to the actresses and the director for doing a wonderful job in this department!

And…one thing that made me like the movie even more is this girl called Sagarika Ghatge (Centre Forward, screen-name: Preeti Sabarwal)…couldn’t take my eyes off her…seriously!

Will give it a 3.5/5 ... it's a must watch for the girls! __________________
