If you thought that Chak De India has been there and done it all, including finding itself a place in the Oscar library and management books as a case study, then, you need to think again, as this film has got something that no other film in Mumbai has got it. It has the approval of none other than the Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray!

It is learnt that Thackeray has planned to send his entire staff of the 'Saamna" newspaper and 'Marmik" magazine to watch Chak De India, today for the 3.15pm show at Chitra Cinema Dadar, to see and experience the 'team spirit" of the film and imbibe them in their lives. Needless to say that the entire staff of the newspaper couldn"t have asked for more, as this is the first time that the entire staff will be going for a movie together. There are 350 tickets booked for this show. The icing on the cakes is the probability of Uddhav Thackeray being present at the show.
