'Chakde! India' Rocked The Nation On Independence Day

'Chakde! India' Rocked The Nation On Independence Day

After a flag hoisting ceremony in a building society on August 15, as residents mingled in the compound, a man in the mid-30s remarked: " The best thing about ‘Chakde! India’ is that it has got this cricket-crazy nation talking about another sport, and that too hockey!”

So what has got the cinegoer across the country applauding and cheering as the Indian women’s hockey team raises the world cup? An upsurge of patriotism? Or was it the movie’s basic tenet-team over self- that clicked with the masses?

Maybe the greatest triumph of ‘Chakde! India’ was that the actors and the production unit bravely broke Bollywood’s box-office rules that cult movies like 'Rang De Basanti' and 'Chakde! India' reset every Friday.
