By freak coincidence, a day after a very touching moment in Indian sport, I happened to go and watch Chak De India. The filmmaking classes have finally taken effect, "What my version of the movie would be like blah blah blah" is trying to bubble out of any available orifice on my person. But no, my mind is made up. "In the present day and age", when values seem to have gone from invaluable to no value, the cinematic (uh... um...) value of this movie is just so besides the point. So who cares what i think of the screenplay or dialogue, or the factual accuracy in the movie or the lack of it.
This is a movie that children should watch. (Actually, cinema in our country should step up to the challenge. Of presenting to young ones what we lack in reality. Everything that we lack.) It must be said, felt great to see a movie that had so many girls in really skimpy skirts NOT being an object in some unintelligent man's hammed attempt at cinema. The girls kick some great chauvinist ass, and that kids should see. We'll have a lot less wife-beating husbands and daughter killing families if more of these movies are made.
P.S. The goalie is seriously pretty. Vidya Malvade if I'm not mistaken. And Preeti - Sagarika Ghatge. Due respects of course.
