Some superhit movies not only entertain us, but also leave a deep impression on the hearts of everyone who watches the movie. Almost 18 years ago, one such film stirred patriotism in audiences and moved them to tears with its poignant story. This movie was a huge box office success. We’re talking about a very special and superhit movie, “Chak De India,” starring Shah Rukh Khan. Released in 2007, the movie is considered one of Bollywood’s most inspiring and influential movies. Directed by Shimit Amin and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films label, Shah Rukh Khan’s performance as Kabir Khan, coach of the Indian women’s national hockey team, was highly praised by audiences.
What is the story like?
The story of “Chak De India” isn’t limited to sports; it also explores emotional themes such as patriotism, female empowerment, and the need to reclaim lost respect. In the story, Kabir Khan is the captain of India’s men’s hockey team, but after losing a match, he is suspected of betraying the country. Following this accusation, society rejects him, and he loses his identity. After a few years, Kabir Khan gets the chance to coach the women’s hockey Indian team, leading them to victory and helping them regain their lost respect.
The team selected players from different states across the country, with diverse backgrounds and personalities, which made it very tough to unite.
