Released in 2007, Chak De India is a story of how the Indian Women’s Hockey team and its coach Kabir Khan fight all odds and despite very little support from its own federation, go on to win the World Cup in Australia.
The movie talks about several issues affecting Indian sport both on and off the pitch and portrays how a group of players, hailing from different parts of the country, unite together to bring glory to the nation, by beating the hosts in the final in a penalty shoot-off.

Shah Rukh Khan delivered a superb performance as the head coach, who returns to take charge of the team after being thrown out of the Men’s side 7 years back on charges of throwing a match against Pakistan and gets his redemption in the end.
The movie attained both critical and commercial success and was one of the biggest blockbusters of that year.
