chak de india

Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) is newly appionted coach of India’s national women’s hockey team. A former captain of the Indian hockey team, now forgotten, it is Kabir Khan’s chance to get himself, his country and his team to the winning stand, once again. But this time all he gets is a bunch of girls who do not really believe in playing for the glory, victory and the country. He has a team that lacks the spirit. Shahrukh Khan’s job is to shake them to wake up the winning spirit. The girls however have their own interests. They are more into government job, salaries and flats. Shahrukh Khan motivates them to look beyond these ordinary things and to play the game for pride, glory and victory.
Composed by Salim Merchant and Suleman Merchant, the music of Chak de India is just as sporty as the movie. Jaideep Sahni has done a wonderful job writing lyrics for the movie. Considering that writing these lyrics was not as simple as writing songs for an average hindi movie. The songs of Chak de India had to fit the emotions of a lossing hockey team that wants to break the lossing into winning. It had to be loud, bold, cheerful and glorious. I think that the merchant brothers and Jaideep Sahni has accomplished the goal. However, I don’t think that the songs would be memorable for years but they fit perfectly in the movie.
Ek Hockey Dongi Rakh Ke is my favorite of all the songs in the album. It shows the spirit of girls in the battlefield with a loud and bold tone. ‘Bad bad girls’ is yet another song symbolizing the bold bad girls. With a loud urban rhythym, bad bad girls is an average indie-pop kind of song with faster beats. Chak De India the title song of the movie is the main anthem of the hockey team. It has the inspirational, emotional tone that reminds the team that they are in the ground for something more precious than just a hockey match. Sukhwinder Singh with his loud cheerful voice was the perfect choice to perform the song.
