At the start you wonder where the story is going, the narrative is slow and nuanced, however, you soon realise the story is developing in the pauses, the silence, the smiles replacing words and the eyes of the actors. I found the movie emotionally overwhelming to the point that I cried in the end with Shefali. What memories would stay with us? Would we ever get a second chance? Sometimes life happens and we go with the flow, but what about the life we wanted, hoped or dreamt of, are we all at a point of no return? What if it all ends tomorrow, would any of these moments still matter. Maybe as long as someone keeps you alive in their memories :) Beautiful storytelling, you know the writer wants the viewer to read between the lines and to interpret the silences through the lens of our own perceptions or experiences.

It is a beautiful movie, very Hirani style, treating a difficult subject in a humorous way.

I love Shahrukh and have been since I first saw him in Fauji as a teenager 😍 Chak De! India is by far his finest and most nuanced performance till date. I have watched the movie several times, yet each and every time I get goosebumps during the team's final winning moment and SRK's reaction. Well made movie and a must watch for all sports movie lovers ❤

It is one of Dulqer Salmaan's many bests, a classic love story that will stay with you long after you walk out of the theatre. A beautiful story, effortless acting and the incredible cinematography make this a must watch.

It is not your typical comfort watch. The movie makes you think, feel invested, ponder about how development and safekeeping our natural resources is not a multiple-choice question. Both have to go hand in hand, ensuring one does not cost the other. Vidya's performance is very powerful and mature. You can sense her frustrations, her determination and resilience. It the last scene in the movie that gives you goosebumps and a glimpse into the future of what awaits, if we did not work towards restoring the delicate balance between the man and the wild.

The movie reminds us that our grades and academic success does not always predict the kind of lives we will lead. If we define our happiness by the destination we miss out on enjoying the experience. No failure is bigger than giving up on living and life itself.
