Chake de India

I watched Chake De India last night. And I loved it. Here are some of the reasons why

• Its a sports film where the sport isn't cricket.
• The sport is the forgotten national sport of India - Hockey.
  
• Shah Rukh Khan is great. He looks smart, subdued, isn't romancing anyone and acts. The only other movie he has acted is Swades.
  
• The range of emotions - patriotism, sportsmanship, team work and a bit of cricket & male bashing. (Shah Rukh saying, "Hamare hockey mein chake nahi hote hai")
  
• The hockey looks real. The players aren't some models trying to play hockey. Some are models and some are actual players. It seems they all underwent a 3 month rigorous hockey training before shooting the movie.
• Screenplay & dialogues are great. It not that you are at the edge of your seat but it doesn't bore you in any way.
• Makes you wish you were a sports person. Wish you too could represent your country.
  
• Pretty realistic.

A must watch movie. I wouldn't mind another watch.
