Chak De India!

As the film ended my friend said to me, "sabko sab kuch mil gaya"! Man! Rather Woooman!
The film was highly predictable and I found myself guessing the entire storyline shot by shot rather correctly but this dint stop the film from becoming a mind blowing experience for me.

Each and every person who has ever been a part of any sports team will be able to connect with the film. The highs and lows are beautifully orchestrated through out the film. it was a no- drama film, even in films like Lagaan and Swades there were moments when i turned and said puhleez! But this film thankfully dint give me a reason. During the interval i said a little prayer wishing that the director of the film would be able to keep it together like in the first half...and he did! To sum up the story in the first half the 16 girls (who BTW look and talk like real players) learn to be a team and then in the 2nd half they play for their team.
The inter, intra team rivalries have been depicted really well.

I left the hall with a really nice feeling. The crowd cheered, cried for the Indian Hockey team and found comfort in their win.

Everything in the film happened for a reason - even the release date of the film. Everyone seemed to forget the unfortunate exit of the Indian Cricket team earlier this year...The film rocked! Chak De India!
