New York, Aug. 12 (PTI): Shah Rukh Khan-starrer “Chak De! India” now running across the US is a “commentary on sexism in India”, says the New York Times.
In the Sunday column Andy Webster says though “the making-of-a-team sports movie is a timeworn genre, and yet ‘Chak De! India’ finds new variations… and (viewers) will find a lot to like.”
Webster - in the review titled “‘Chak De! India’ - ‘You Go, Girl,’ as Translated into Hindi’” - says, “In fact, the film’s greatest merit is its commentary on sexism in India. As it should, ‘Chak De! India’ gives the women, in the closing credits, the last word.”
