Chak de India

I cant decide whether I should watch this movie or I shouldnt.
These are my reasons for not watching:
1. I think its one of those encouraging movies. And I dont like to watch such movie. They fill you with some energy and I dont know what to do with that energy.
2. There have been many movies like iqbal etc. A losing team, an encouraging coach, a speech in the end and a glorious win. Add some other personal story and emotions in the background.
3. Shahrukh Khan had become intolerable lately. People tell me he is good in this movie. But I have my doubts with this man now.

On a different note, the song "Chak De India" by Sukhwinder singh is very very well sung. He has a very nice voice and he has used it well. Lyrics too are quite nice.
Its been so many years now since the old Gulzar days, but till date if any song has good lyrics you wonder if it is Gulzar. For one, the man is unpredictable. And then there hasnt been anyone since then. Bollywood lyrics has been quite poor. Unlike the music direction which has seen maestros on a more regular basis. Panchamda, Rehman and now HR. :)
