Chak De India' is the story of a coach's fight to make his team, Team India, the best in the world. It is a film about self-belief, perseverance, determination and the human spirit to fight and win.The movie is about a disgraced hockey player, called Kabir Khan, pulling together a team of misfits to do the impossible - winning the World Hockey Championship. Kabir, India's most successful Centre Forward of all time, bungles a crucial penalty and is castigated by the nation - as Pakistan win the cup.

Seven years later, this never-say-die Kabir Khan is raring to go. His plan is simple: to start from the very bottom of the Indian Women's Hockey Team whose administrators aren't even serious in their approach looking for a coach.
His has taken seriously the task of coaching the bunch of 16 indisciplined non-actresses, trying to keep up with him. And pushes them hard.The team is a rag-tag bunch of girls with their own agenda. A bunch of girls who have forgotten what it is like to play for the love of the game. Of playing because you want glory for your country. Not because you want a pensioned job or a government flat.
Khan, of course, is King. This is a bravura performance, a gritty drive by an actor who clearly has sport in his blood. The fit of Shah Rukh as a hockey coach -- inspiring, canny, frustrated, helpless and profoundly hopeful -- is so naturally perfect that it's a wonder he hasn't done a sports film before. The film is shot nicely, the direction is superb, and it is a perfectly good sporting film, and its a fine, true-blooded sports movie though, and deserves applause.
