Chak De India

One man mentoring a hockey team of young and feisty girls. Their determination, ambition and skills are put to test in an ultimate contest with the world's top teams. For the girls it is a chance to make their nation proud. For their coach it is a chance to reclaim his lost honour.

'Chak De India' is a film about the human spirit to fight and persevere. It is directed by Shimit Amin (who made the hard-hitting 'Ab Tak Chhappan') and it stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role as the coach of Indian girls' hockey team.

The film's story revolves around a coach who returns to the game seven years after he was disgracefully ousted from it as a player. Vidya Malvade plays a Sikh girl with a strong passion for hockey. She wants to join the Indian team but her conservative parents are against it.

Not all is hunky dory when SRK takes over as the coach of the girl's team. However, he coaches the girls and they then go to Australia to play the women's hockey World Cup where their grit, determination and integrity is tested.
Chak De India' has been shot at various locations in Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. While shooting in stadiums, the movie's producers Yashraj Films gave out invitations to people to come and watch the shooting from the stadium seats. This way they managed to gather in the stadium huge crowds that served the movie's purpose well.

'Chak De India' has music by Salim-Suleiman. The screenplay is by Jaideep Sahni while the costumes are by Mandira Shukla.

The film is slated to release in August this year.

MOVIE PREVIEW ::: Chak de India

By Aakash Gandhi, Bollywood Trade News Network

There are a couple reasons why CHAK DE INDIA is one of the more anticipated films to release in 2007. Firstly, it is yet another high-profile gathering of Shah Rukh Khan and Yash Raj Films. After hearing this, you'd think to yourself – "ah, another tear-jerking performance from another over-the-top romantic film." Well, let's not be too sure of ourselves; which brings me to the second reason why this film garners some thought – Director Shimit Amin.

It's extremely rare to see a director, who took his first steps in the RGV Factory (with Ab Tak Chappan) waltz over to the Yash Raj banner. Needless to say the two high-profile production companies are like fire and ice, producing some of the most contrasting films you'll find.

Starring Shah Rukh Khan and newcomer Vidya Malvade in lead roles, CHAK DE INDIA revolves around Kabir Khan (SRK), the coach of a girl's hockey team, and a young sikh girl, Vidya (Vidya Malvade), who wants nothing more than the hard-to-earn consent of her parents to be able to join the team. SRK plays the role of a muslim man, disturbed by the sorrows of life, who wants nothing more than to see his nation's flag held high with all others. The girls' team makes it to Australia to play for the World Cup, and this is where the story portrays the plight and opportunities of the team as they fight for dignity, respect, and victory.

Model-turned-actress Vidya Malvade has truly received the break of a lifetime with this role. Or has she? Ladies and gentleman, over the past decade and a half or so, there has been an ignored theme that has run beneath the career of Shah Rukh Khan and the debutant actresses who work with him. If we look back, there have been several instances where debutant actresses gain the break of a lifetime working opposite this larger-than-life superstar, but then failing to ever achieve any sort of success in their careers (if you can even call it that). Is it the SRK curse? Or is just the luck of the draw? Let's reminisce…

Circa 1993, Shilpa Shetty has a dream launch with SRK in BAAZIGAR. She's been struggling ever since. Apart from MAIN KHILADI TU ANARI (1994) and DHADKAN (2000), Shilpa has really never been able to gain the acceptance of both the masses and the classes. It is obvious that she has the potential, but will she ever reach it?

Suchitra Krishnamurty – do I have to say anything else? You probably haven't heard of her because she's done absolutely nothing since her dream debut opposite SRK in Kundan Shah's KABHI HAAN KABHI NAA (1994). It wasn't until eleven years later she got a role in RGV's MY WIFE'S MURDER (2005).
