Every once in a while comes a movie which makes you sit up and take notice. ChakDe is hardly that!
You just don't sit up and notice, but rise and applaud to the 'Team ChakDe'.
CD is easily my most favourite film of the year and the best I ve seen after Rang De and Lage raho. Uncanny nah! Rang De...Chak De.. Hoping that with Haal-e-De (purposely forgetting the 'L' in the end), I can safely complete the trilogy of my favourite films and films which audiences will love. (fingers crossed) :-)
Where do I start...Never before have I seen a script and screenplay in hindi movies which is made to order with all the ingriedients which contribute to a full on, masala, commercial yet emotional, heart wrenching and inspiring tale, coming together and gelling so perfectly well. Take a bow Mr. Jaideep Sahni (writer)! The funny thing is that it is as predictable as any underdog story which you have seen yet so finely executed/written/acted that you sit up and cheer for every goal when Team India slugs it out with the aussies.
Shahrukh as the disgruntled coach of the Women's hockey team has made Kabir Khan come alive and how! The scene where he says,' Hockey mein chakkey nahin hote' or 'Is team mein ek hi gunda hota aur woh main hoon' or the time he makes his 'sattar minute' speech and the best of all, his expression and body language when we save the final penaly shoot out goal! Dude, I owe you one! You Inspire! ( I am being dramatically understated)
But to be honest the real heroes of CD are the director - Shimit Amin and the superbly casted 16 girls, who come from nowhere and remain with you at the end of the movie. Just like the gang of RangDe. A special mention to the actors who played Bindiya Nayak and Chowtala. superlative! and cannot not mention Preeti Sabbarwal...Gosh! ;-)
ChakDe...Makes you want to go the movies again. Makes you want to make great movies...movies which make you happy, movies which make you cry, movies which make you think and most importantly movies which entertain. And above all movies which make you want to live an 'inspired life'.
Oye Chak De!

Bro, That preeti sabarwal was hot!!Super movie i agree. Inspiring to the hilt.I cant wait to grab the dvd and watch it over. For once, shahrukh is also tolerable. I thought komal chautala was fabulous and also the hot tempered girl from punjab.I hope the team gets more sponsors now.
