Chak De Phatte!!!
August 27th, 2007Hundreds of movies are produced at Bollywood every year but how many make their way to the audience minds? Hardly any of them except a few. After Rang De Basanti, Chak De India was the right movie which clearly made its way to my heart. Truly a patriotic movie! How many of us really like such themes? We usually frown on hearing that the movie is based of patriotism. But Chak De India was the right movie at the right time! Released somewhere around Independence Day, the movie got a lot of audience right from its first day.
The movie even showcases the plight of our sports and especially the women’s side. Sports is truly neglected in our country. More than 110 million people and we cant even win a gold medal at Olympics? Not only politicians are to be blamed, but its also we who should take up the responsibility. How many of us are encouraged to go to sports and athletics? We do live in such a society, we are asked to pay more attention to academics rather than these sports, surely sports has not takers in India. Its a misery, only Cricket is the unofficial national game and hockey which is the national game is sinking day by day, thanks to Government interference.
Apart from Patriotism theme I would also like to mention one more theme, movies based on values. Remember Munnabhai MBBS and Lago Raho Munnabhai. These two are the other two cherished movie of all time. Its really evergreen! Who thought that Gandhiji’s values would become so famous this day when the whole world is running after MONEY! People really liked the movie and gave Thumbs Up!
Come on Bollywood!! Is it the end? Audience are waiting desperately… 
Chak De Phatte!!!
