Chak De India has been declared a big hit in India. In the first week itself, t
he movie has recovered all its money: Rs.20 crores. Whatever money is now flowing in, is all going towards the bottom line! Yash Raj Films is happy and smiling. And although the movie did not have a very good show overseas (despite Shah Rukh Khan!), the New York Times gave a crackling review of the film directed by Shimit Amin. Here, we share with you what the venerable NYT has to say about SRK, thewomen’s hockey team and how it’s all about winning! “Kabir Khan (the assured Bollywood veteran Shahrukh Khan) is a former player for India’s national field hockey team who missed a fateful play against Pakistan, costing a championship and making him a pariah. Seven years later, he is hired to coach the nation’s women’s hockey team, giving him one more shot at a title. The players, from states all over India, are a fractious lot, including a tomboy (Chitrashi Rawat) whose father fears she will never marry; a forward (Sagarika Ghatge) whose boyfriend,a cricket superstar, wants her to quit the team and live in his shadow; a newlywed goalie (VidyaMalavade) whose in-laws expect her to stay at home; and a haughty, seasoned player (Shilpa Shukla) who needles the coach…. The director, Shimit Amin, strikes a buoyant, propulsive tone, replacing the customary Bollywood production numbers with exhilarating musical montages of team practice. For his part, Mr. Khan, to his credit, lets his co-stars’ youthful charisma carry the movie. He also laudably portrays a man who vigorously and unabashedly advocates advancement of women.” Not bad, eh?!
