Chak De! India opens in Delhi during the final minutes of a (fictional) Hockey World Cup match between Pakistan and India, with Pakistan leading, 1-0. When the Indian team captain, Kabir Khan (Shahrukh Khan) is fouled, he elects to take the penalty stroke himself. His strike, however, flies just above the goal and India suffers a crushing defeat. Soon after match ends, the media begins to circulate a photograph of Khan accepting a handshake from the captain of the Pakistan team. This action leads to a nation-wide smear campaign which alleged that Khan (who is a Muslim)[6] might have “thrown” the game in an act of sympathy towards Pakistan. The religious prejudice exhibited towards Khan by the entire society at large[6][7] forces him and his mother (Joyoshree Arora) out of their ancestral home and into exile. Seven years later, Mr. Tripathi (Anjan Srivastav), the head of India’s Hockey association, meets with Khan’s friend and hockey advocate Uttamaji (Mohit Chauhan), to discuss the Indian women’s hockey team. Tripathi argues the team has no future since, the only long term role for women is to “cook and clean.” Uttamaji, however, informs him that Kabir Khan (whom no one has seen for seven years) wants to coach the team. Though initially skeptical, Tripathi ultimately agrees to this arrangement..
