Chak De India
Director: Shimit Amin
Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Vidya Malvade, Javed Khan, Anaitha Nair, Mohit Chauhan
New wave Bollywood at its best, a Hindi-language film from a Mumbai studio that shows the influence of American and foreign films.
Shaky handheld lensing, terrific cutting and uplifting music build to a grandstand finish in which the main characters are bound tightly into the physical drama. It ain't subtle, but it packs a punch at a simple emotional level.
While it doesn't miss a cliche, it also invests every one with vigorous conviction.
