CHAKDE! INDIA The Story…

“ MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE..." Leadership on its way again…….

Chak De India’ is the story of a coach's fight of making his team, Team India, by overcoming their diverse backgrounds. It's a story about honesty, determination, perseverance, sincerity integrity, and human spirit to fight and win. A story to remind the nation of its National sport

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 honor and prove his point to the nation he still loves.

Kabir Khan knows what it's like to come back from the dead. The ex Indian Captain has now come back as the Coach of the Indian Women's National Hockey team. A team that exists more on paper and less in reality.

Kabir Khan aims to achieve the impossible by making a rag-tag bunch of girls into a team. And he is eyeing nothing less than World Championship. The only problem is – it is easier said than done.

The team is a rag-tag bunch of girls with their own agenda. 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.

They have played every game of 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? The girls have never known the thrilling energy of being Team India

But Kabir Khan, once a captain, now forgotten, does.

Will to Win! Kabir Khan 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.

To believe in self Kabir believes that it is not that we can't win. It's just that we have never believed we can

The “Khalnayak”: Bindia Naik At times, even the best and the most experienced person if not handled properly could lead to disastrous results for the team. However if channelized in the correct direction, the same person will certainly yield rich dividends (as seen in semi-finals and finals)

Despite all odds, Kabir believes that if only the girls played as one, anything would be possible.

Race is Not Over--- B’Coz we haven’t won yet…

“ None of us are as Strong as all of us…..”

Team India Wins the World Cup. Winners Don’t quit, Quitters don’t Win
