Celebrating 17 Years of ‘Chak De India’:

Despite its age, ‘Chak De India’ continues to be a fan-favorite and one of King Khan’s best performances. But what’s the real tea behind this film’s success? And how did it fare at the box office?

Box Office Magic:

Well, darlings, here’s the lowdown. Thanks to SRK’s magnetic portrayal of a disgraced hockey player turned coach, the film didn’t just win hearts, it also raked in the moolah. With a budget of ₹20 crores, it grossed a whopping ₹109.20 crores worldwide! Talk about a "superhit" verdict, right?

Untold Stories of ‘Chak De India’:

  3. Hockey Bootcamp: Every actress in the film underwent a grueling 3-month hockey training session before shooting. Method acting, much?
  4. Punishment with a Twist: Remember the scene where Coach Kabir Khan (SRK) punishes Preeti Sabarwal (Sagarika Ghatge) to run 10 laps for being late? It’s a clever nod to the 70-minute duration of a hockey game (7×10=70). Genius! 🤓
