Chak De

:-)

Happened to see this movie on Webnesday. Having taken a '50 ka 100 mein'
ticket, I was well determined not to miss even the trailors and whatever ads.
Got to catch a short trailor of the Madhuri-comeback, 'Aaja Nachle', due this
Nov.

I would say Shah Rukh Khan was at one of his best. In an attire different from his usual
lover-boy style. No scene was felt unnecessary right from the beginning to the end.
I personally felt the movie was going pretty fast. The film shows most the state of affairs
in the sport of Hockey, lack of spirit and interest in the association, differences among team
members etc. And also the fallacy of the media nowadays, by showing how a
simple handshake, after losing, with the opposing team captain, can outburst as match fixing
in the sport fans.

No heroin, no songs, except for that title track. I heard that team of 16 members shown in
the movie was a mix of actors and sports persons. I liked the girl playing the goal keeper ;-)

Go and watch it. It's a good one. Mostly shot in Delhi, National Stadium. :-)
