A fairy tale with so many messages mixed in. When did you last see such a fairy tale.??? A tale, which deftly describes anguish of a so called traitor, shows its thumb at gender bender and hurrah come up trumps against all odds keeping you glued to your seats. Yeah that is Chak de for you.
In a country where every second Muslim is deemed a traitor, movie brings a refreshing new outlook. Want few instances of few so called traitors? How about Indira’s tacitly removing Muslim police officers from key areas, how about Azhar’s dropping a sitter at humdinger of a one dayer against
In a country where the so called modern parents still prefer a crow over a cuckoo. (An old concept where Visiting of a crow and cuckoo is supposed to culminate into birth of a boy and a girl respectively).
In a country where sports is still not take seriously unless it is meant to be a game of leather hunt by 11 “gentlemen”.
Yeah in such a country Chak De comes as a whiff of fresh air. A refreshing break from over the top screaming non sense movies.
SRK is not playing SRK to start off. Script is well measured and each scene is done very well. Loved the way matches were shot. Camera angles were so well taken that matches looked so real. Humor is sprinkled generously to make it look entertaining. And at the end of the day, indomitable team spirit carries the day.
Yeah 16 Cinderellas get their princes, all in form of a glittering world trophy. Movie ends on a happy note, and we all feel elated.
No need to chuck in , Chak de subtly nudges us and coos into our ears……
