Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) knows what it's like to
come back from the dead. The ex Indian Captain has now come back in
the avatar of the Coach of the Indian Women's National Hockey team.
A team that exists more on paper and less in reality.
The team is a rag-tag bunch of girls with their own agenda. A bunch
of girls who have forgotten what it is like to play for the love of
the game. Of playing because you want glory for your country. Not because
you want a pensioned job or a government flat. They have all forgotten
the sharp thrill of just holding the hockey stick, keeping their eyes
on the ball and playing for all they are worth. They have played every
game but hockey to make sure they get selected every year in the Indian
National team. But what does it really mean to play for the Indian National
team? To play for India?
The girls have never known the thrilling energy of being Team India.
Of giving their all to see their country's name on a trophy. But Kabir
Khan, once a captain, now forgotten, does. He knows what it takes to
get there. And what it means to return empty handed. This time, he wants
to make sure that it's different. He knows there are no second chances.
Despite his past, he believes that if only the girls played as one,
anything would be possible.
Because Kabir Khan believes that it is not that we can't win. It's
just that we have never believed we can.
Chak De India is the story of a coach's fight of making his team, Team
India by overcoming their diverse backgrounds, by learning to use everything
that life hurls on them as a secret weapon. It's a story about honesty,
sincerity and integrity. A story to remind the nation of its National
sport.
