Chak De India continues to inspire

There is an element of resemblance in the super hit film 'Chak De India' and a legendry woman tennis player Billie Jean King.

We saw Shah Rukh Khan's girls exercising their muscles and beating a bunch of disturbing guys black and blue in the film. That fight scene was something that no one among the audience expected till just a scene before.

Thirty five years back a tennis player did the unthinkable and achieved a deed that was considered as impossible till then.

In tennis match known as the 'Battle of the Sexes' Billie Jean King, a female beat Bobby Riggs, a male at the Houston Astrodome.

The game inspired countless number of girls to take up tasks that were meant only for the man till then. In movie language the tennis match was a big hit and still is considered as the most watched one in the history and 'Chak De' also became a super hit commercially and critically with a great story line about women's power and spirit of sports.

So 'Chak De India' getting the prestigious Billies award in the entertainment category completes the circle.

The award is given to four members of the media who do an extraordinary job in the portrayal of girls and women's sports and the winner is selected by a panel of distinguished panel of women's sports historians and journalists.

This is also a great honor for the film just before the IIFA awards and a shot in the arm of the fast growing Bollywood.
