Chak De India at AIFF Best Film Award


Chak De! India was based on the Indian women’s hockey team’s 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games win. The movie Chak De India features 90 Australian women hockey players and about 9000 locals as extras.


The movie Chak De India shot extensively in the Sydney and Melbourne has bagged the best film award at the fifth Australian Indian Film Festival (AIFF). The winner was announced last night at a dazzling ceremony at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art.

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.

Chak De India really deserves the award.
