Chak De INDIA!

Very rarely do Hindi movies inspire or fascinate me as was apparent from my previous blog. But this masterpiece of a movie did just that! A simple storyline about a Women's Hockey Team (in a male-dominated, cricket-dominated country) & a superstar like SRK did the trick. No Karan Johar family drama, no Sanjay Leela Bhansali costume drama(remember Devdas???) and yet, the film is a huge success. Besides that, this is the only movie where I forgot all sophistication & culture and found myself blatantly screaming, shouting, clapping & cheering at the theatre. Such, is the feel-good factor of the movie. Mind-blowing performances by the starcast, great direction & rocking background music make Chak De India a must-watch.
*Breaks into a cheerleading song*
"Gimme a 'C', Gimme an 'H', Gimme an 'A', Gimme a 'K', Gimme a 'D', Gimme an 'E', Gimme an 'I', Gimme a 'N', Gimme a 'D', Gimme an 'I', Gimme an 'A' ! And what do you get??? CHAK DE INDIA!!!!! " wooohooo!!!

A new start,a new blog...and what better way to start than SRK,eh? Plaudits for his "stellar performance" apart (will people never tire of that phrase? ;)) I think the movie was a welcome change from the usual garbage we see cavorting as meaningful cinema...movies like Chak De,by virtue of their "feel good" factor,tend to conceal an innate lack of script/screenplay...throw in some time tested cliche's,and voila! You have a product that sells! That being said,I'd still recommend the movie,because nothing in life deserves to be over-analyzed...no,not even SRK,and his (supposed) acting prowess!
PS: Umang was fun :)...where were you?
