afridrahman This movie gave me goosebumps . Usually I don't cry while watching movies , but this movie made me to weep out like something ! The reason why SRK is known as the "King of Bollywood" is this movie !!
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...
shailesh kumar A very familiar, Fantastic and a very formula sports movie! Great story plot about the perseverance of young women in sports: field hockey. After a disastrous loss to the Pakistan hockey team, Khan is ostracized from the sport. A bunch of girls who have forgotten what it is like to play for the love of the game. Because Kabir Khan believes that it is not that we can't win. It's just that we have never believed we can. And movie goes on with his motivations and management with team to make them believe we can only win when we are determined and united. A few lines are indeed amazing. Excellent and enthusiastic music. SRK is the soul of CHAK DE India.He makes you feel what you are supposed to feel.The girls are excellent and a few of them register a strong impact, especially Vidya Malvade. On the whole, CHAK DE India is a well-made and worth watching.
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.
