The 'Chak De' memoirs

8/14/2007 11:08:45 AM

The Shahrukh Khan starrer is loosely based on the life of former Indian goalkeeper.

You've seen the movie and loved it, now you could read all about the man on whose life 'Chak De' is based, for former hockey player and the coach of the gold-medal winning women's team in the 2002 Commonwealth games, Mir Ranjan Negi is now planning to pen his experiences.

'Chak De' is surely on its way to becoming the latest anthem of the nation. The Shahrukh Khan starrer is loosely based on the life of former Indian goalkeeper. Mir Ranjan Negi fell from grace after conceding seven goals against Pakistan in the 1982 Asian Games final, before returning to coach the national women's team to a Commonwealth gold medal in 2002. The film is clearly a hit with the masses.

Negi was at the screening of the film and is delighted at the film's success. "I am really grateful to Yashraj films for that matter, for taking up such an important issue - promoting hockey.

Though SRK's portrayal of Kabir Khan - Chak De's protagonist - is a tad different from the life of Mir Ranjan Negi - there's no denying the filmmakers were inspired from the life of this goalkeeper. And as Negi recalls - the decision to return to the sport after the humiliation of the 1982 Asiad games was difficult. "It was very sad, very sad in fact many times I thought I should commit suicide. Friends like Joaquim Carlvalho, Mon Fernandes, Pandey brothers, they brought me back into hockey."

Chak De's success has given Negi another platform to redeem his lost pride and honour - and now the former player is planning to pen the troubled chapter of his life in the form of a book. "It does give you a sense of redemption, definitely and a satisfaction that all that you were striving for has been achieved and accomplished. Then life has to go on. I have planned so many things, in fact I am coming out with my own book 'Gloom to Glory' where I have tried to analyse what exactly went wrong that day."

New best friends

Let's do this again: Shah Rukh Khan Why not? Akshay Kumar

Guess who are the newest bum-chums in the industry? A source reveals that Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar have been bonding big time in the last few weeks.

They renewed old ties while shooting a special song for Heyy Babyy, in which SRK plays a cameo.

Apparently, they discussed everything from kids, family, holidays and movies. The camaraderie even extended to Akki doing a cameo in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om!

BOI: CDI scores a hit for Yashraj Films

After the the below expectation results of Ta Ra Rum Pum and the debacle of Jhoom Barabar Joom, Yashraj Films are back and have resumed dishing out hits with Chak De India.Chak De India got an average opening but it was clear by the Friday evening shows that the film would do well and the collections on Saturday just confirmed that. The all India average opening on Friday stood at around 60% but on Saturday and Sunday the collections were 90-100% at major centres. The smaller centres did not zoom up but still did well enough to hold their collections. The film has been released on approx 400 cinemas all over India with a major chunk of the screenings in metroes and A centres..

The film held rock steady on the dreaded Monday with collections of 60-70%. There is expectation of the collections to rise over the weekend again as there is appreciation for the film from the public.

Chak De India will emerge a hit or better in Mumbai, Delhi/UP(UP is only fair but Delhi/NCR is strong), East Punjab, CI, Nizam and Mysore. The other circuits will depend on how well they sustain collections from here on. But it's unlikely to have a losing circuit as even Bihar may notch up 18-20 lakhs from the 7 prints sent to the circuit.

On an all India basis the first week nett business should come in the region of 17-19 crore. The approx breakdown of collections are Friday-2.35 crore, Saturday-3.40 crore and Sunday-3.75 crore giving it a 9.50 crore nett gross for the first three days.

Overseas the film has disappointed with its start but the makers expect it to hold its collection well into the second week.
