Chak De! India movie review: what critics say (8)
What critics say Critics are largely positive: 8 of 8 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more. Praised: the performances. Criticised: the script.
Sure, you know what's going to happen, but it's a good ride -- and especially satisfying to see Swiss flower-fields replaced by Australian stadiums. Not to mention the return of the King.
Read the full review...it's an immensely satisfying movie experience, I'm going to go with four out of five and two thumbs up for director Shimit Amin's Chak De India.
Read the full reviewLike Iqbal, Chak De India attempts to keep it real. The story, though it succumbs to cliché now and then, is told convincingly.
Read the full reviewCHAK DE INDIA is a team effort and no one person can take credit, but for commercial purposes alone, it's Shah Rukh Khan who will pull in the audience. As for the women, I suggest they go in groups and bring the house down.

Read the full reviewGreat performances by a bunch of unknowns, a gritty pace and a marvellous restraint make Chakde India an unbridled ode to patriotism without any hysterical chest-beating.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
