Chak De! India (transl. Let's go! India) is a 2007 Indian sports film directed by Shimit Amin and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan as Kabir Khan, former captain of the India men's national field hockey team.

Kabir Khan: This is the story of a team and they're playing for their one and only dream. To win the world cup so you better back up. Cause they're coming on now and they're coming on how. Get out of the way cause they're screaming "Chak De"!
- Writer Jaideep Sahni got the idea for the script when he was flicking through a newspaper and a small story about a women's hockey team caught his eye.
- The title literally translates into "Come on, India!"
- This film sparked a national resurgence of interest in the sport. Within days of the film's appearance, sales of hockey sticks shot up by 30%.
- This film is based on the real life of legendary hockey player Mirranjan Negi.
- The girls in the cast were trained in a 3-4 month hockey camp so that the game play doesn't look artificial in the movie.
