Chak De

1. Only two people could play Kabir. BigB and SRK. Its so ironical that anything and everything, comparison between them become unavoidable. But they are the only two charismatic leaders in Bollywood.
2. SRK for the first time played anything other than himself. He is not his charming self. But he is enigmatic and impressive. He is so unlike SRK.
3. Its not only war film that brings audience to cheer and clap in a theatre. That too in a multiplex. You can always imagine something like that happening while watching Cricket. But for hockey, that too today, this was surprising.
4. Chak de India could have been titled anything but its the prasoon joshi effect that has taken over the minds and creativity of our country media. It feels odd to hear India everytime it is used in movie. NewGen funde maybe.
5. A sports movie need a super fast camera work and/or a really fast soundtrack. Luckily the brilliant cinematography properly covers up for not so brilliant soundtrack.

Thats my 5 cents for the movie. I wont say its the greatest sports movie you will ever see. But it is great nonetheless. Finally we can say that our bollywood also can make sports movies :)
