Movie Review: Chak de (Go for it!) India! I want everyone....on the field.
Summary: 5 Stars
India is made up of 28 fiercely unique states that belong to India mostly because they might not fit elsewhere. Coaching hockey is easy compared to getting 16 women from all over India to self sacrifice and play together as a team.
There is some very funny self mocking humor in Chak de India, the best sports movie I have seen. How many Indians can get out of one van? I'm confused, which one's Didi? What does "ho" mean? Can a women's field hockey team hold it's own in a fight against men? Can they win a game against men?
Shahrukh Khan, using less-is-more acting, seems to fit the part of the women's field hockey coach perfectly. The assistant coach does a fine job of prividing a reference point from which to measure the ability of the head coach. An incredibly dynamic cast of young women was pulled together and they do a wonderful job in their respective roles - including the women who played the opposing teams. The Indian team is a dirty dozen plus a few, ranging from a big tough Punjabi girl to a little spark plug that won't quit to (Ho, Ho, Ho) Soimoi (her name, not a medical condition) a girl that rode out of the Jharkhand jungle on an elephant to join the Indian National Team.
There is no dancing, but one song is superb and sung really well.
Okay, this film is predictable since you know who is going to win the final game but you do not know how they are going to make it to the final, much less win. We have watched this film quite a few times yet we still sit on the edge of our seats hoping they make each shot. Sounds stupid, I know. Shooting, editing, directing, writing, sets, you name it, are all perfect, mainly because less is really more.
