REVIEW- CHAK DE INDIA


let me start by saying that director shimit amin sells us a dream that none of us would hesitate buying!i had initially hesistated to go for this film since i am not exactly a great fan of SRK but i must say that this is the 1st time that SRK has not disappointed my with his "overacting".
this film has its share of cliches in place and the the script is not really something one would say "out-of this-world" but its the sheer way that its presented that makes us remain glued to our seats.even before u reach the theatres its a foregone conclusion that this team would at the end win the world cup,but it is amazing how the director captures our imagination and makes us eagerly wait to witness the climax which was still,very predictable!
"komal" "balbir" are brilliant as they do full justice to their respective characters, but my favourite girl in the team would be "bindya naik".she has beautifully portrayed the "senior player's ego issue" which is found in every sports team in any corner of this world.
the film not only throws light on the deplorable condition of women's hockey in india but sports in general-lack of good up-to-date coaching techniques,lack of infrastructure,lack of funding in sports other than cricket,and the general attitude of the people towards sports which cannot in india atleast give one a lucrative career no matter how much talent is present!
there have been very few films which hav tried to please both the classes and the masses and this film is really one of them.its like one of those hollywood classical films which is so smoothe that when u sit to watch it u simply consume it as a product without giving much attention to its techie details!
