Chak De! India is a 2007 Indian Hindi sports movie directed by Shimit Amin and produced by Aditya Chopra, with a screenplay written by Jaideep Sahni, with sports scenes choreographed by Rob Miller and music by Salim–Sulaiman. It tells a fictional story about the Indian women’s national field hockey team, which was inspired by the team’s win at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and explores themes such as feminism and sexism, the legacy of the partition of India, racial and religious bigotry, and ethnic and regional prejudice. The movie features Shahrukh Khan as Kabir Khan, former captain of the Indian men’s national field-hockey team. After a disastrous loss to Pakistan, Khan is ostracized from the sport, and he and his mother are driven from the family home by angry neighbors. Seven years later, to redeem himself, Khan becomes the coach of the Indian national women’s hockey team and aims to turn its sixteen contentious players into a championship unit. The movie was released on 15 August 2007.
