Plot

Seems like a copy or lift off Bend It Like Beckham in terms of the key story plot, yet seems to avoid similarities by using the sport of hockey and having the coach a muslim rather than angio as in Bend It like beckham—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.69.188.137 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 3 October 2006.

Synopsis

Please someone clean up synopsis. After the paragraph "With the shootout," the story is written again.. combine these or remove one... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mashsworld (talk • contribs) 16:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

The current synopsis (plot) does not conform to WP:FilmPlot. It needs to be rewritten and reduced. I will wait a few days and if no one does this, I will. -Classicfilms (talk) 23:49, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I have re-written the plot according to WP:FilmPlot. The current word count is at around 700 words which is about as long as is recommended. -Classicfilms (talk) 13:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Bend It Like Beckham

Please do not add irrlevant links. There must have been thousand films dealing with Indian female athletes. In film articles, we don't cite in the See Also section films that deal with the same topic. Or maybe you wanna add also all the films starring Shahrukh Khan? All the films won Filmfare Awards? All the films with no heroines? Maybe you also wanna add all the Indian cross-border romances to Veer-Zaara's see also section?

We can cite films with a similar achievement or whatever, but not the same topic. There were, there are, and there will always be films dealing with the same topic, or in this case, Indian female athletes. Shahid • ^Talk2me 18:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Miracle

(discussion copied from user talk page to open up to other editors)

The respective film is alleged to be inspired by the aforesaid film. Stop reverting it, an article has to be free of POV. buzz 18 is a reliable source it is a part of media network like CNN-IBN. If you have any doubts go through the cited source and read the full article.

I have changed the usage of words in the sentence(added alleged) to make it more precise, Plz. stop ruining the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Dark Wizard (talk • contribs) 17:40, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello Dark Wizard,

If you will notice, after you mentioned that buzz 18 is part of the media network CNN-IBN, I did not remove it again, I moved this reference up a paragraph, elaborated upon it, and added the response of the director to the film. So both viewpoints are now included in the article which fulfills Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I am not against stating that the film was compared to Miracle though until you pointed out the connection with CNN-IBN I wasn't certain of the source. However, if we do mention the comparison, we need the director's point of view as well. I've pasted the section again below and will move a copy of this discussion to the Chak De India talk page so that other editors can also be involved. Please respond there.-Classicfilms (talk) 17:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

In addition, some media outlets claimed that there were "uncanny similarities" between Chak De India and the 2004 Hollywood film Miracle. In response, director Shimit Amin denied this claim stating that Chak De India was inspired by the win at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and that "Jaideep is the most original scriptwriter in India."

The pictures from the page have also be taken off, as they didn't have any direct relation with the subject. If we can find a picture of Shahrukh(or any other crew member) during an event related to the film or a movie still, that can be used in the article. Thank you.-The Dark Wizard (talk) 18:11, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

That's fine. Images are complicated in the WP because of copyright and those images were included because they are free images but it doesn't matter to me if they were taken off. Including images from this or any film are difficult because of Wikipedia:Copyrights. It would be of great asset to the article if we could find images directly related to the film that don't violate WP copyright rules but that will take the time and energy of editors who want to explore the issue. -Classicfilms (talk) 18:17, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

The picture of the Billie Award has been deleted, as it is just a picture of the award, not a picture related to to the film. Its just like having a picture of Oscar in the page of Lagaan.The Dark Wizard • ^Talk2me 16:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

A-Class review for WikiProject Films

This review is transcluded from Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Assessment/Chak De! India. The edit link for the section below can be used to add comments to the review.

English translation of title

I removed the current English translation for the title ("Come On India") for a few reasons. There are a few possible translations for the title, some literal, others figurative. "Come On India" is a literal translation but I would suggest that it is not the best in terms of the thematic points of the film (Go for it India, for example, captures the meaning in a better way). The problem with offering an English translation lies in WP:OR as well - unless a film was released with the translated title, anything we offer could be OR.

A better solution would be to create a section with references that offer some of the possible translations. Anyone want to take this on? -Classicfilms (talk) 16:16, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Well The New York Times offers the translation of the title ad "Go! India". That sounds reasonable enough...--Meryam90 (talk) 16:21, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I think most foreign language films do have an English translation, including 2 Indian FAs Lage Raho Munna Bhai and Taare Zameen Par. It is very helpful to English speakers. I am not sure if there is a policy on how the translation is to be accomplished though. On a separate but related note, those 2 articles plus this one also have Hindi script, which has been determined by a recent RfC to be undesirable. An IPA pronounciation guide is preferred, although that would seem to involve OR as well. RfC is here. BollyJeff || talk 16:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Translations, adding scripts are always contentious issues however. I don't know who added the English translation for LRMB but it is quite awkward, and not one I would have pushed forward. As for TZP, the translation of that title was the topic of long debates. Truthfully, the only translation that we could really reference for it was "Like Stars on Earth" as that is the title that the film was released under via the Disney DVD and that is the one that I would suggest should be used. Thus, you see the problem with adding an English translation, consensus is very difficult to achieve. I agree that it is helpful for English speakers to have some kind of translation, but I think a paragraph with different references is more helpful. "Go! India" I think is an excellent translation - though the question would be, is that how all references offered it? I wonder if this is a topic to be taken up just as the use of Hindi script was. I can guarantee it will create long discussions during an FAC and I would rather avoid that and find a concrete way to offer a translation that is well referenced. -Classicfilms (talk) 16:50, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I updated both articles. The TZP article has a section that translates the title in various ways (I had forgotten) - which was created as a result of this type of discussion. In my experience if we put just one random translation, people will come by and frequently change it. Having a sourced version of some kind is the only solution. -Classicfilms (talk) 17:03, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I just checked the TZP article and a title section sounds good I suppose...but even the suggested titles (other than Go! India) need to have RS to support them. --Meryam90 (talk) 17:08, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

You bet, that's the whole problem. If films were released themselves with official titles in other languages we could use that. Otherwise, we need to source everything. This article still needs a great deal of references or perhaps we need to better use the ones we have. The more people we can bring into working on this to find the info, the better our changes of developing well referenced sections such as this one! You've done a lot of great work on SRK articles so I'm glad to have your help on this one. Signing off for today but we'll get back to this soon. -Classicfilms (talk) 17:12, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Well the first thing I am gonna do is arrange the article to follow WP:MOSFILM since the sections are all over the place...but before I do that, I need to fill in the release section with screen count and other informations regarding its release (then add Home media and special screenings to it) There is a lot of work to be done but I think reference wont be a problem for the article :D --Meryam90 (talk) 17:20, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Fabulous!!!! -- So glad to have your keen eye and help! Now I'm REALLY signing off. Hard to do at the WP but work calls... :-) -Classicfilms (talk) 17:30, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Infobox

Okay here goes. Now, this article's main aim right now is to be pushed for the FAC. An unwritten rule for the FAC is that the article should have a beautiful appearance. It should look neat, organized and strictly without redlinks. Importantly, no photo or template must go out of a particular section and occupy the next section's space. This is important, as any interfering template automatically gives the article an ugly appearance at that spot.

Which brings me to the infobox : the infobox is too big. I can understand that this is due to the listing of the 16 Chak De! Girls, but I'm afraid that the infobox is entering into the Plot section and really giving the area a messy look. Now, there are two solutions to this :-

• An editor can expand the lead section substantially enough so as to allow the Plot section to move down, sufficiently for the Plot section to go out of the reach of the infobox. This includes the title header; nothing of the Plot section should overlap with the infobox.

• I have made a modified infobox in my sandbox, where the names of the Chak De! girls have been put into a collapsible hidden portion; any outside user can just click on the "Show" button and the list appears, but normally the list remains hidden. This is how the article looks like with my idea (you may have to wait a bit to allow the hidden function to kick in).

I leave it to consensus to see which idea is adopted. Cheers! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:42, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

• Keep it, I approve! It looked great! :D --Meryam90 (talk) 13:52, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Support - Just a one minute sneak peek to see how it's going - fantastic idea Ankit. Since both Meryam and I support this, and we're the main writers, go ahead and restore your sandbox version. And thanks for thinking about how to improve the look of the article - that's exactly the kind of fresh thinking this article needs. Keep it up! Ok, off- wiki again. Bye for now. -Classicfilms (talk) 14:56, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Alright, and thanks guys :) ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:00, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

 Done ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:04, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Necessities

The article requires certain stuff. First, I am going to redo the current Background and Development sections. The sections are wrongly named and the content is wrongly placed. Additionally, it will be better to remove the quote template and replace it with Rquote, as in Ra.One. A new Filming section will come up (though it will, problematically, be small).

A major missing part is there in the film - a "Casting" section. Generally i would recommend putting any casting info into the Cast list itself (again, refer Ra.One) but this film is an exception due to the 16 girls. Hence, a separate "Casting" sections would be required under the Production section to explain how the girls were cast, when and how SRK was cast etc. I hope Classicfilms and Meryam can do the needful regarding obtaining the information. Any further changes will be made later.

A note - this article will not reach FA status quickly. First we should clean up the article to the best of our ability, then go for a Peer Review (where many other issues can come up) and only then will the article be ready for the FAR. Regards, ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:48, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

•  Done - made major changes and re-arrangements between the Background and Development sections, not to mention changing the headers to the appropriate titles. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:06, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

• Casting section.

I have already started a casting section in my sandbox, it includes both informations regarding SRK and the girls, but I feel it's too short ( abt 12 lines) and therefor I suppose casting & filming will be included in one section for the time beings. btw, the VFX work is better inculuded in filming. Right? (since we have no post-production section) --Meryam90 (talk) 18:35, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Well if its too short then merging the two would be great; besides the Filming section itself is hardly expansive (a major deterrent for the FA). I strongly recommend creating a new post-production section, but if there is no information then yes, our only alternative is to put it in the filming section. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 16:07, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Kudos to both of you for your hard work - I like all of the suggested changes and am impressed Meryam with the time and energy you put into the combined casting/filming section. While an FAC is a future goal, let's focus right now on the small things, what we can do bit by bit to improve this article. I tweaked the plot and added character names. Tomorrow, Meryam, I'll go through your casting section - so if you have a chance to read through the paragraph again today and make any tweaks that would be great. I think the next step is to start the large task of combing through all of our sources and figuring out what kind of material they offer, perhaps creating a list of clusters to develop into possible sections. I'll also at some point go through sources in the article to see if there is material we can use for other topics. Good work gang, keep it up! More tomorrow. -Classicfilms (talk) 17:40, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

A small thing - in writing the plot, I found myself using both "girls" and "women." The team is referred to as the "women's team" but as a group they are the "Chak De girls." I don't like this inconsistency but I'll leave it for now since I have to sign off but we need to think about how we are going to use the two terms. A solution might be "young women." Tweak if you want to as well - see you tomorrow. -Classicfilms (talk) 17:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Collaboration

Hey all, I have to take a short wiki-break but I'll be back soon - I am calling some of the copy editing volunteers to ask for a wiki-edit. Also one of the issues with the article regards sources - there is on my talk page a link to a draft page with a number of URLs - we need some resourceful people to go through the links and organize topics. Improvements so far look great - let's keep it up. See you all soon -Classicfilms (talk) 17:03, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Chak De! India → Chakde! India – Some sources say "Chak De", some say "Chakde". Can any Indian give any insight into which it's more likely to be? IMDB says Chakde[1], as does Amazon[2]. So does this Times of India review[3]. There are lots of other sources that also say Chakde. On the poster/cover CHAK and DE are in different colors, but are right next to each other like they are one word. Thoughts? Film Fan 22:10, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
