CHAK DE...TO ONE AND ALL

Finally yesterday i went to watch "CHAK DE INDIA" a beautifully portrayed movie about hockey..actually women's hockey team..and needless to guess it said more than it showed...
Here's how the story goes..the failed Indian hockey men's captain and centre forward acquitted of being a traitor tries his level best to bring back the faith of the nation in the game and give hockey its much deserved place at the top at par with cricket...so he gets a job as the coach of the women's hockey team..and even with all the personal differences the girls come together and play for their country..and of course bring home the world cup..
The movie has slapped many national officials right on their face..with the girls side dwindling on the sex ratio statistics,i guess the people ought to see the movie..and of course for all those who keep on grumbling about "what did the country do for them and they could do for the country"stuff ;this movie is a must watch..it shows that its not always about how u perform,its about how your country performs..and if you give your best shot forgetting all about regionalism and cast ism India will soon find its place at the top in almost everything...i mean come on its high time we were known for something more than yoga, bollywood and shooting population rate...
I how ever was thinking something else too..shahrukh khan(who played the coach),well he could himself get into politics and give a helping hand..i mean people worship him and if his movie could create such a stir in young hearts(like me) in real life it could create a movement...and probably something that happened 60 years ago,could be relived..only this time we would be fighting to free ourselves from the clutches of dirty politics of our own nation..and more so our so called "Indian mentality"..
Now i guess the title sounds apt..har ek Indian aaj keh de apne aap se "chak de"!!!!

  1. very well said Doc..
    But i still feel, it aint as much bout regionism or castism as it is bout corruption..
    SRK shud definitely do sumthing, but thinking that few steps by SRK will change everything, is boastful thinking..
    SRK can inspire ppl, but cannot take steps for them.. It is the people who need to awaken if they want the India 2020 dream to come true.. All Indians keep bragging about the current gdp, sensex etc etc.. But high gdp index aint gud enuff to become a superpower..
