It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

After watching Soorma, some critics compared it as weak version in sports genre when compared with movies like Chak de! Chak de is a very nicely scripted film when we take sportsman ship into consideration except for the scene which declares our coach as anti-national. It's sad that this scene becomes the core for what this movie stands. Other than that, what coach has in mind for team highlights true sportsmanship? Playing for the country rather than self or local team matters more. The movie is entertaining, introduction of players, their backgrounds, their role and mutual interaction amongst them is a treat to watch.Tone, Script & Story: The story is how a failed player finds redemption as he turns out coach, learns from his mistakes and guides Indian women hockey team towards success. Direction, Screenplay and Cinematography: Justified. Music: Good. Acting: Justified.Final Verdict: The idea that carries the movie 'Before the player comes his team and before his team comes his country' is appealing. The movie is worth watching.

To begin with, the storyline was well written. A hockey coach who wants to redeem himself from all the hate he got as a player, its a movie that doesn't come along very often.
SRK has been severely criticised for his recent movies, but that doesn't take away the fact that he is an outstanding actor, and that is clearly evident in this movie. Every word that he said made you feel like he meant it, it was one of the best performances by him, or if not the best.
Honestly, if some other actor, say Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan, Kamal Hasan or Mammooty played this role, it wouldn't have the rating it has now. No one else could play the role better than he can. I'm not saying this because I'm a huge fan, it's because it's the truth that has to be accepted.
This isn't the first time he has produced some top notch performances. He has delivered them as the romantic Aman in Kal Ho Naa Ho, and of course, Mohan Bhargava, the NASA engineer in the National Award winning movie Swades...

A very familiar, Fantastic and a very formula sports movie! Great story plot about the perseverance of young women in sports: field hockey. After a disastrous loss to the Pakistan hockey team, Khan is ostracized from the sport. A bunch of girls who have forgotten what it is like to play for the love of the game. Because Kabir Khan believes that it is not that we can't win. It's just that we have never believed we can. And movie goes on with his motivations and management with team to make them believe we can only win when we are determined and united. A few lines are indeed amazing. Excellent and enthusiastic music. SRK is the soul of CHAK DE India.He makes you feel what you are supposed to feel.The girls are excellent and a few of them register a strong impact, especially Vidya Malvade. On the whole, CHAK DE India is a well-made and worth watching.

As Shahrukh khan is trying do work in different type of movies than he has done till now(mostly romantic) he makes an attempt at the sports genre and delivers yet another brilliant performance.The story is of the Indian women hockey team which because of its poor performance and lack of sponsors is unable to find a good coach.Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan ) a former national hockey team player steps in to take the responsibility of the new coach .The rest of the movie shows how he takes Indian women hockey team to a new hight and how he regains his lost dignity The plot of the movie is linear and predictable without any twist or surprises, in fact it is quality of direction and acting by Shahrukh khan ( well supported by the rest of the cast),which sucks you in the movie and does not let you get bored. Music of the movie is good including the title song which is quite inspirational.It has to be said that good level of effort has been put into every part of the movie whether it is casting or hockey(matches)choreography (which is acceptable).Although the winning streak of the team at the world cup may seem to an extent unrealistic but overall Chak De India can be said as an entertaining and inspirational movie and is a must watch for every Shah Rukh Khan fan and critic for his brilliant performance.
