Synopsis
Jo
nahin
ho
sakta
hai,
wahi
to
karna
hai...
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?
Mujhe
sirf
ek
mulk
ka
naam
sunaai
deta
hai
-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.
Character
Sketch
The
Coach
Shahrukh
Khan
as
Kabir
Khan
Once
the
hero
of
Indian
Hockey,
the
best
centre
forward
in
the
world,
the
man
a
nation
found
a
hero
in.
And
the
man
it
sentenced
to
hell.
Now
he
has
decided
to
make
a
last
comeback
to
the
game
he
once
loved,
to
reclaim
his
lost
honour
and
prove
his
point
to
the
nation
he
still
loves.
By
doing
the
impossible.
Making
a
rag-tag
bunch
of
loser
girls
a
team.
And
the
World
Champions.
The
only
problem
is
-
it
is
easier
said
than
done.

Preeti
went
to
the
best
public
schools,
but
on
her
way
to
the
U.S.
from
there,
took
a
sharp
left
towards
the
Punjab
University
and
its
hockey
team
for

known
to
her.

she
looks
like
a
Princess
and
plays
like
the
Terminator.
The
only
one
she
is
close
to
is
her
iPod.
Would
you
then
blame
the
rest
of
her
mostly
rural
team-mates
for
calling
her
mem?
She
has
a
secret,
but
then,
that's
a

Express,
also
known
as
chhokra
in
her
village
for
her
tomboyishness,
and
as
chhipkali
in
the
field
for
her
devious
dribbling.
Born
to
tough
Jats,
she
has
just
one
regret
-that
she
wasn't
born
a
boy.
But
she's
doing
all
she
can
to
make
up,
including
not
using
make-up.
Ever.
