Chak De India! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Pakistan

Kabir Khan was played by Shah Rukh Khan. He missed the last penalty shootout in the Men's National Hockey final and was declared a traitor to the country. He came back as the coach of the Indian National Women's Hockey team. Everyone told him: "Yeh to namumkin hai." He simply replied: "Wahi to kar dikhana hai." (Translation: This is impossible... then that's what we have to do!) The movie is based on a real story and Shah Rukh Khan portrays the role of Negi (the actual hockey player to which this happened.)

Answer: Komal Chautala

'Chak 3' was her player number. Chitrashi Rawat aka Komal Chautala played the role of a girl from Haryana who needed to prove to her family that girls are not just meant to marry--they can play hockey, too. Her main competitor in the movie was Preeti Saberwal.

She was an actual hockey player who had to learn Haryanvi for the role. She played for the Uttaranchal State Team. Bindia Naik and Nethra Reddy were also actual hockey players.

Answer: Bindia Naik

In the movie, she hated Khan and went out of her way to make trouble for him. She had held a record of 42 goals. Being the senior player, she had been in several matches and had faced the Koreans before. Khan called to her and told her that this was her opportunity to prove herself.

She kept shooting commands at the players and, ultimately, they broke through the man-to-man backing strategy.

Answer: Vidya Sharma

All the other players kept introducing themselves by including the name of the state which they were from. Vidya was the first one to use India instead of her state in the introduction. Her real name was Vidya Malvade and she made her debut alongside Ashmit Patel (Amisha Patel's brother)in the movie "Inteha".

In the movie, she was married and had increasing pressure from her in-laws to abandon the World Cup and come home if she still wanted to be a part of their family.

Answer: Chandigarh

She arrived late for the introduction. When Khan said that he did not need latecomers like her on the team, she proudly announced that she had been state captain for the Chandigarh team and that he could not treat her like that. As a result, she was asked to run ten kilometers in seven minutes if she was to prove herself.

She had a constant rivalry with Komal Chautala. The Chandigarh team was not actually shown in the movie.

Answer: Gunjan Lakhani

Her real name was Shubhi Mehta and she constantly amused everyone by imitating Shah Rukh Khan on the sets. In the movie, she was also one of the senior players who, along with Bindia, despised Khan. Later on, she came to accept and respect him.

Answer: Vivan Bathena

Abhimanyu was a very successful cricket player who was promoted to Vice Captain; however, he too, like many others, thought hockey was stupid and that Preeti should give it up to marry him. Vivan Bathena played the part of Dhruv - Kumkum's (Juhi Parmar) and Sumit's (Hussain Kuwajerwala) son in "Kumkum - Ek Pyara sa Bandhan". It appears on Star Plus and is produced by Balaji Telefilms.

Answer: Ek hockey duungi main rakhke

A brilliant song that provided each girl with a few lines that summed up their characters in the movie. The singing was done by Shah Rukh Khan and the girls themselves. Unfortunately, it was never completely shown in the movie. Bits of it kept playing in the background, but it was mainly used as a teaser advertisement for the movie.

Answer: Zidd hai to Zidd hai ji

"Chak De India" was an amazing song that ran in the background as a motivator. Once again, no one was actually lip syncing to it in the movie. It was continuously used whenever the Indian hockey team faced a victory. Sukhwinder Singh has sung this one so brilliantly.

Answer: Jaideep Sahni

This movie was an amazing changeover for Jaideep considering his comedy in "Khosla Ka Ghosla", and then his power and sports spirit in "Chak De India". This is one of the first few movies that have been based on hockey and it has made such an amazing impact in India for the revival of hockey and discrimination against women. Jaideep has also done the dialogues for "Jungle" and "Bunty Aur Babli".

He also wrote the story for "Company".
