"Give IT - India " a personal perspective

A retreat to the heart to see a different sharukh's movie. Somewhere deepdown i had a soft corner to this guy who has raised from a fouji to coach and wandered in millions of heart for the last 10 years or more which made me watch "CHAK DEY.." on the day of the release after watching a preview of the theme song a week back which is quite isnpiring. After "Swades" this is best performance oriented role by the king khan. Infact you really u dont see all those Regular Quirks and you get to see a different Khan altogether. And applause to the director to have done such a wonderful screenplay and giving equal importance to all the characters from across the states of the country with an awesomely knit storyline. Breaking the sterotypes of the women to be restricted to the kitchens...and what it really takes to be a champions the movie is nicely paced with three different aspects - set-up, build-up and climax. A subtle comdey from every character and equally subtle dialogues making an impact in some portion of your brain. Indeed a bold step to involve 16 amatuer actors in a game like hockey who just stick to their natural instincts of acting and give life to the characters with few giving that extra edge over others. Somebody rightly mentioned you need to be a coach to give the best out of team than a manager, and Kabir Khan though unconventional may be in his methods devised on the few young egostic expereinced women, a few submissive, one super-charged angry , a dissent one, another skeptical one all characters that we normally find around us in our lives weaves them together imbibing some sense of patriotism, demonstrating attitude, aggression, sporting spirit and the killer instinct to achieve amidst fighting all odds.

There is something captivating about the sporting movies in general and this one is a niche one in that category where the movie watchers were cheering as if it is a real match which proves that there isn't much exaggeration of any scene at all. I am fascinated with movies which leave an impact, which makes you ponder and the ones which allow you fill something missing and i am sure this one is a blend of all.

Its a must watch for everybody whether you aren't sharukh fan or whether you dislike sports, its most unlikely to make you move around the seat with unease as the movie runs around your anticpation and makes you realise the ADIDAS slogan with the entertainment at its own place.

A double thumbs-up to everybody behind the making of CHAK DEY INDIA and to the KING KHAN in particular delivering his best in the form of the coach taking the 16 young babes to victory.

I wished i could write those few dialogues and moments that i enjoyed, liked right from the first scene where Kabir Khan walks out of his colony with his mother the most beautiful shot to the sublte comedy he does at McDonalds to the introduction of the women's team in the traditional indian style with that not so great yet inspiring climax speech, overall its worth waiting for 8 months to watch a movie on the Big Screen and not even a single soul standing up to leave their seats just before you realise the movie is going to end waiting till there is blackout
And walking out in your minds !!! CHAAAAAAAK DEEEEY INDIAAAAAAAA.
