Chak de

sun 19th aug 07.

"chak de india". My first indian movie in the halls here...and the memories from back home came rushing by. the indian connection and the feeling of being connected to the outside world is something i felt so strong. I fall for a movie everytime it makes me cry. so is the case with this fantastic piece of cinema. I am still effervescent from its effects. clevery written and wonderfully executed, the characters bring alive the spirit of the game-hockey which otherwise i would have never watched. Shahrukh Khan in a 'swades' ish role is simply superb. such talent, such vision, such intelligence.
Deeply researched- the state of women in indian sports speaks so truly of the way things are. No- nonsense, no hamming, no patriotism crap..Simple message and simpler thoughts... The ability to believe, the ability to inspire, the ability to achieve.
