I am speechless.. I dont have words.. Chak de has swept me off my feet. By far the best film of the year. Nothing can stop this movie. On Friday when I watched this movie in the darkness of the theatre (late night show) the only thing that came shining through was the brilliance of a director called Shimit Amin and a masterpiece of a movie called Chuk De.
Shimit Amin, Jaideep Sahni and Adi Chopra can take a bow. What a movie. My jaw hangs in awe watching this piece of art. The movie kept me rivetted. My goose flesh factory worked over time. My tear ducts gave away more than once. When I laughed, I laughed from the bottom of my belly. When I cheered, I clapped till my hands ached. Basically this movie got me by what always get me- by my soul. (If this movie was about cricket I would have tried my hand at the cheap pun- "it got me by my balls.". But for the time being balls to cricket...hello woman's hockey!!!
Nothing is coming close to this movie for quite some time for now.. This is not a merely a film. It re-defines a cult. And effortlessly becomes a bench mark. Srk out shines his own self and scores. God watching him is a delight. The pain, the shame, the mastermind, the iron hand, the fragile human being-he rolls it all into one powerpacked performamce. How does this man manage it without fail always. Actually come to think of it this time over it was simple. No credit should be given to Shah Rukh Khan for the brilliance of this movie called Chuk De. Its only Kabir Khan all the way. Who is Shah Rukh Khan any way? Was he even there in the movie? If you found him any place do let me know.
The girls won my heart over and they played with my emotions as they dexterously played with their hockey stick... Nothing seems wrong with this one. Human spirit meets great writing is always going to be magic. Cinema at its very best.
When you are watching this movie in the cinema hall. Watch how in just a few minutes the whole auditorium turns into a stadium. You become the spectator and Chuk De becomes the game. Very few movies in life-take another form. A form of its own. This one does.
Once in a lifetime movie- Take my word for it. Do see it!!!

Dear Mushtaq,
you are such a lucky guy because you've already seen Chak de India!!!( I'm sure, if I look in the mirror the next months I'll be green with envy;-)
I knew it, I knew it right from the start, this movie will be one of Shah Rukh's best!!!
Kabir - Shah Rukh, Shah Rukh -Kabir, for me one and the same person.
Because as a trainer you must have some characteristics for having success:
you have to be honest, sensitive, tireless, fair and powerful.
And Shah Rukh has got all these characteristics, too.
So, for the role of Kabir, he only has to play himself, that's all!!
Shah Rukh is a born leader!
Or does anybody think millions of fans are wrong?
I would give anything to see Chak de India( and Shah Rukh), but unfortunalety I'm from Germany and so I have to wait a long time until watching it:-(, and I'm very said about it.
BTW, Mushtaq, I sent an e-mail to your e-mail address, which is named in your SRK book. Did you get it?(My real name is Ramona and I sent it on 13th of July)
Sorry, for beeing off topic, hope you forgive me;-)
Bye
Rubbish, of course, because as you said, Mushtaq, SRK was not there in the film, and no no no, he did not play himself.
Kabir Khan awed me, scared me, got me thinking of getting my own sportive act together, made me sink into the ground with just one gaze from him, and if he'd want me to be on the field at 5 am, I'd be there at 4!
It is a fantastic film with a fantastic script and a fantastic cast, sweep-you-off-your-feet music! What a party we had at the premiere at Somerset House, London! 2000 people cheering under a starry summer sky, applauding the girls - the only comparison I have is with the real World Cup final last summer. It never felt for a second like "just film", it WAS the real thing!
Hey, Mushtaq, you'd have loved it so much, I know - I got home last night with the memory of a lifetime!
Oh, and I watched it three times altogether, in London Cinemas after the premiere ;))))) and it became even better, if that is possible at all.
If anyone says something against this movie I'll become like Balbir, the girl from Punjab, and hit him!
“Har team mein sirf ek gunda hota hai…aur iss team ka gunda main hoon!!!”
“Hamari game mein chake (6’ers) nahi hote hai!!!”
“Chak de” is undoubtedly one of the finest works of cinema in the recent times. Seldom do we see such simplicity in expressions as was displayed by this masterpiece of Shimit Amin. And hey, how did Shahrukh Khan…sorry…Kabir Khan…sorry Shahrukh Khan…sorry Kabir Khan…oh hell…how did HE essay such real emotions so effortlessly??? I could sense the numbness in my legs when Kabir Khan struggled to stand on his feet after winning the World Cup…Shahrukh - you are a killer!!!Btw, the front row experience was exhilarating!!!
Of course I will see "Chak De" as soon as possible! But I think that would be first in some months, I'm soo sad about it.
Can't wait but in our cinemas the movie won't shown....So I must wait for the DVD.
i've seen the movie twice already & can totally watch it again. brilliant flick!!!
