Chak De India - The Return of the King


KING KHAN is Back with a Bang. Silencing all his critics who say that he cant act, he replies back with a superb performance as Kabir Khan in Chak De India.

Chak De has the basic plot line which is used by almost all of the movies of this genre. A Coach trying to prove something, a team of underdogs who dont know how to play as a team and finally their emergance as the World Champions. What's different here is the screenplay and treatment by the director Shimit Amin whose past record includes a mighty Ab Tak Chhappan.



Chak De worked for me because it was really entertaining. The girls in the team are picked with a lot of thought. There is a hotty from Chandigarh, Preeti Sabharwal. A Haryanvi Komal Chautala(my favourite) who also got the best lines in the movie. Team Captain Vidya Sharma who is also a housewife. Senior egoistic player Bindiya who has some frictions with the Coach. Mighty Balbinder Kaur from Punjab who is also short tempered. Girls from Jharkhand who says ho ho(one of the best scenes). Kudis from Northeast. Another hottie Aaliya who wears a nose ring like Sania. And all this makes the movie really interesting.

I dont follow hockey nor do I am much of a fan of the sport. But is shown very nicely in the movie. The cinematography is like the soul of the movie. Background music is nice.



Finally it is King Khan who makes all the difference. And we come to know here why he is the KING. Just see him in the cool Raybans and you will come to know. He has not overacted anywhere in the movie and indeed provides a very natural performance. Love you SRK. You ROCK man!!!

Chinmay's scale - ***1/2
