If you have seen last year's blockbuster 'Chak De! India' you would remember the match between Indian men's team and coach Kabir Khan's women's team. The match was ok, but it is what happens after the match that made me writes this blog.
Fraternity. The one word that comes to my mind whenever I see the men's team acknowledging their opponents' performance. The heartwarming ovation from men's team for the girls is truly wonderful and the one that reinforces the spirit of sportsmanship (or 'sportspersonship' ?) since it puts the game above gender differences which is so much inculcated in Indian psyche. How often do you see such sporty moments on celluloid!
I sincerely hope we could emulate this in real life as well.
Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni. Thank you so much!

Agree!
I think this is one of the most powerful scenes in the movie (even better than the penalty shootout), it puts gender inequality in its place without actually overplaying it.
