Plot

Chak De India is a film which explores larger themes relating to sexism, ethnic and regional prejudice, and religious prejudice through the relationships developed within the Indian women's national field hockey team. As noted by the Times of India, the central task of the team's coach is to: The status of women in India has been subject to great many changes over the past few millennia. ...

win the World Cup, an impossible feat. Because, in the first place, there is no team, just a bunch of girls who have come together with a baggage of class, region and interpersonal rivalries. The small town girls hate the uber snobs; the city-slickers think Chhattisgarh is a jungle, the seniors can't handle the juniors stealing the limelight and petty camps create a virtual gang-war which even builds into a mutiny against the disciplinarian coach. The only thing that brings them together is gender bias—something they all have faced.^[5] , Chhattisgarh (Chhattisgarhi/Hindi: छत्तीसगढ़, IPA: )  , a state in central India, formed when the sixteen Chhattisgarhi-speaking southeastern districts of Madhya Pradesh gained statehood on November 1, 2000. ...

The film opens with the final minutes of the Hockey World Cup between the Pakistan national field hockey team and the India national field hockey team, with Pakistan leading, 1-0. When Indian team captain and hockey superstar, Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) is fouled, he elects to take the penalty stroke himself. However, his strike flies just above the goal, and India suffers a crushing defeat. Soon after, the media begins to circulate a photograph of him accepting a handshake from the head of the Pakistani team, speculating that Khan (who is a Muslim) might have "thrown" the game as an act of sympathy towards Pakistan. The speculation and prejudice exhibited towards Khan forces him and his mother out of their ancestral home and into exile.

Seven years later, Indian sport officials are surprised to learn that Khan wants to coach the Indian woman's field hockey team, a job no one else wants (as, an official indicates, the only long term role for women is to "cook and clean"). Although the Indian team consists of 16 women, none fulfill the role of protagonist.^[6]) Instead, the film focuses on several subplots regarding the tension and friction which develops surrounding gender, region, and ethnicity among the players and their families: Komal Chautala (Chitrashi Rawat) from a village in Haryana conflicts with Preeti Sabarwal (Sagarika Ghatge) from Chandigarh whom she refers to as "memsaab"; short-tempered, tough girl Balbir Kaur (Tanya Abrol) from the Punjab bullies Rani Dispotta (Seema Azmi) and Soimoi Kerketa (Nisha Nair), both from jungle villages in Jharkhand; and Mary Lalte (Kimi Laldawla) from Mizoram and Molly Zimik (Masochon "Chon Chon" Zimik) from Manipur (or North-East India) are both treated as "foreign" by virtually everyone they meet. In addition, the players must also contend with sexism not only from strangers but from family members as well: Mary and Molly face repeated sexual harassment; Komal's parents worry that her interest in hockey will destroy all hope of a good marriage; team captain Vidya Sharma (Vidya Malvade) is forced to choose between hockey and the wishes of her husband's family; and Preeti's boyfriend, the (fictional) vice captain of the India national cricket team, Abimanyu Singh, mocks her involvement with the team, telling her that her only important role is being his wife.

Sensitive to issues of prejudice, Khan chastises players who introduce themselves by state and praises those who instead identify themselves with their country, India. His message is clear: if the girls want to play, they must sacrifice existing prejudices and alliances to state in lieu of commitment to their team and country. Thus during the first few days, he benches a number of players who refuse to conform to his rules, including the most experienced player, Bindia Naik (Shilpa Shukla). In response, she repeatedly attempts to encourage the players to revolt against Khan. Bindia finally succeeds and in anger, Khan resigns. As a sign of good will, however, he invites the staff and team to a going away lunch at McDonald's.

McDonalds Corporation (NYSE: MCD) is the worlds largest chain of fast-food restaurants, primarily selling hamburgers, chicken, french fries, milkshakes and soft drinks. ...

The lunch begins with the same anger and tension towards Khan as none of the women will sit with him or the staff. This changes, however, when some neighboring boys make a pass at Mary and Molly. In response, Balbir attacks the boys, an act which encourages the other girls to do so as well. It is their first instance of working together as a team, something which Khan recognizes, repeatedly preventing the staff from intervening. His only action is to prevent a man from striking one of the women with a cricket bat from behind (he tells the young man, "hamare hockey me chhakke nahi hote" or "there are no cowards in hockey"). It is a turning point for the team and in shame the girls beg Khan to stay as their coach.

The girls have now bonded as a group, learning to overcome their previous differences. This newly found unity serves them through a series of additional challenges: a forced match with the men's hockey team, the Women's Hockey World Cup in Australia, and Bindia's determination to destroy Khan. It is through facing these obstacles that the team grows to work as a single unit, eventually leading them to victory and the restoration of Khan’s good name. In doing so, they not only destroy the prejudices which once separated them, but prove to their families and country the merit of women's athletics.

Production

The screenplay for Chak De India was inspired by events in the life of former hockey player Mir Ranjan Negi, who (like Kabir Khan) was accused of throwing the match against Pakistan during the 1982 Asian Games and quit the game. Later, he became the goalkeeping coach of the women's hockey team which won the Gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Image File history File links This is a lossless scalable vector image. ... The 9th Asian Games were held from November 19, 1982 to December 4, 1982 in New Delhi, India. ...

Screenwriter Jaideep Sahni, was initially inspired to create a film about women's field hockey after reading a short article about the 2002 Commonwealth Games win.^[7])Director Shamit Amin noted that, "it was a small article buried somewhere on the back page. It haunted him -- who are these people? Who goes out and plays for the country and gets such little notice? Why is it not mentioned as much as the men's team is? They work as hard as anybody but the money isn't there. As we started researching, we realised there are a lot of odds these players are up against." ^[6] Shortly after Negi's son had died, Sahni contacted him, asking if he would like to be involved in a film about women's field hockey. ^[8] While not initially enthusiastic about being involved in the film, Negi changed his mind after reading the screenplay. He acted as the coach and trainer for the cast stating, "I trained the girls for six months. Waking up at 4, travelling from Kandivili to Churchgate. We would retire around 11 in the night. It was tiring. But we were on a mission [...] They couldn’t run; couldn’t hold the hockey sticks. I ensured none of them [would have to] cut their nails or eye-brows (as the players do). The girls have worked very hard. I salute them."^[9] Some of the actors however, such as Chitrashi, Sandia, and Raynia were cast because they are actual hockey players. ^[10] Negi also had to train Shahrukh Khan for the film stating, "I had to plan every hockey move shown in the movie, including the penalty stroke that SRK missed. That shot alone took us nearly 20 hours as I was keen that it should be very realistic. I took the help of a lot of my former teammates. But more importantly, it was so easy working with SRK. He is unbelievably modest and was willing to do as many re-takes as we wanted."^[11]

Chak De India was filmed in India and Australia. The Australian portions were filmed in Sydney and Melbourne and used 90 hockey players and 9000 extras. ^[12] This article is about the metropolitan area in Australia. ...

Critical reception

The BBC gave the film 4 out of 5 stars stating that, "While the tale of the sporting underdog is hardly new, Jaideep Sahni's screenplay offers a rare look at a popular Indian sport often overshadowed by cricket. But it's not the type of bat and ball, or the number of practice sessions that are at issue here. Instead, the gender and personal prejudices of the players underpin the story."^[16] The New York Times argued that the film gave a fresh look to the conventional underdog sports film and compared the premise to the win at the FIFA Women's World Cup. ^[17] The Hindu asked "when did we last make a solid ensemble film about sports — one that’s not about a few players saving the day but about the triumph of teamwork? ‘Chak De’ is that rare film where the hero watches from the stands and lets a bunch of ‘what’s-her-name-again’ girls do all the winning [...] At another level, ‘Chak De’ is about women’s liberation. It is one of the best feminist films of our times. Next, the girls themselves are the closest we’ve seen to a representation of India in any sports movie we’ve seen. They are not 16 pretty young things. The casting is first-rate. The rawness in the performances actually makes you forget these are actors. Though we begin by warming up to the ethnic/race differences among the players, soon enough, Amin skirts their inter-racial conflicts behind the uniform, the great leveller."^[18] The Times of India gave the film 4 out of 4 stars and argued, "Great performances by a bunch of unknowns, a gritty pace and a marvellous restraint make Chakde India an unbridled ode to patriotism without any hysterical chest-beating. And yes, for all you SRK fans and bashers, this time the verdict gotta be unanimous: Chakde Shah Rukh! Can you better this?"^[5] The Times gave the film 4 out of 5 stars arguing that, "This rare sporting film is a timely attempt to revive interest in India’s national sport – Indians invented the game – which lost its popularity to cricket and football in India. Whether or not this happens remains to be seen, but as a film, it’s a successful attempt to push the boundaries of the Bollywood envelope." ^[1]Rediff.com gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and called it "a good ride."^[19] For other uses, see BBC (disambiguation). ...
