Chuk De INDIA Rocks!!!!!

Last Weekend I went to watch Chuk De India in Mysore with my parents. Its really very inspirational, i must say.I saw a great number of reviews...not many reviews has brought into light the fact that this movie is based on a real life hero.
The character of Kabir Khan, the hockey coach, is believed to be inspired by a real-life former goalie Mir Ranjan Negi, who was charged with allegations of match fixing after India lost to Pakistan in 1982 Asian Games.
Seven years later Negi's honour was restored when he was absolved of the charges. He coached the national women's hockey team to win gold at the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games.

Now bout d movie...Even though the typical SRK' s humor is missing, the theme of the movie is immensely inspirational. I bet you ll feel your adrenaline rise during d movie..
I think all the scenes are dealt with very realistically. For instance, the gals loosing to boys in the qualifying match(If it was a typical bollywood movie, the gals would have had sweeping victory over boys) or the way Kabir Khan (SRK) handles the lady hockey player who finds illegitimate means to get the Team Captain's position.
Captain Vidya Sharma and Preeti Sabharwal look cute.

This movie is an eye-opener wrt 2 aspects:One is that, women cannot at anytime be underestimated. The second one bein, Cricket does not deserve the prominence that it is getting. Elaborating this point, I think all games deserve equal importance...due to media hype, people's ignorance(cricket fans excuse me), The so-called game Cricket is getting undue attention. The players have become so arrogant that they no longer take the game seriously. All their attention will be on the revenues they get by doin those innumerable ads.
Anyways, people should realize this atleast now. Only then will other games survive in this country.
