Chak De! India (2007)
Disgraced field hockey champion Kabir Khan volunteers to teach the
women's national field hockey team – a position that most regard as
a joke or cushy government job. The girls are all from different
areas of India, proud of their individual accomplishments and
unwilling to work as a team. Kabir does his best to unite the girls,
even pitting them against him, but nothing works until he is about to
leave and the girls defend one of their teammates from some sexual
harassment. Then they must prove themselves to the Association in
order to receive funding to attend the World Championship in
Australia by playing the Men's field hockey team. Will they be able
to defeat the men and go to the World Championship? If they do, will
they be able to make a name for India while in Australia?
*This
is your typical ragtag sports team story, but it was interesting to
see how another country portrayed the issues common in a competitive
sport. Entertaining. I might watch this again.*
