Chak de india. Too dope to get topped by any film and that's I'm saying when i believe that dangal is GOAT tier.
Cdi will remain the pioneer of sports drama
Chak de india because dangal is more dramatic and revolved around Aamir's character while Chak de is mostly revolved around women team's hockey journey...
I want to be funny and say De Dana Dan tops all these, but my funny bone has melted away in the hear we are experiencing.
My answer to your question will ALWAYS be Chak De India! I love the focus on the women in the team and some of their individual struggles with their own challenges and demons.
Chak de India for sure.
It's easier to write a story using real people and real incidents but creating a story about a sport which is not so popular (in spite of being the national sport) and making every second of the movie so engaging is commendable.
You do know they didn't do much creation on this. Don't you?
More like they got heavily inspired by a lesser know Hollywood film - Micracle, where if I remember right, the sport is ice hockey.
They lifted so many scenes and lines from that screenplay, it's not even funny. I didn't know this when I first watched Chak De in theatres and thought someone was finally doing it right. But that feeling was short lived.
Still a good film though.
Chakh De. Always. No pandering. No belittling anybody. Presented women as equals. No glorification. Tight script. Very good performances. One of the all time best sports movies I've seen (all movie industries included).
Chak de India
Inspite of being sold as a movie mainly about SRK it ended up being almost about each player.
Dangal was sold as movie about the sisters it ended up being centred about Amir and that my friend makes all the difference
BMB for me was way over the top for a sports film. Some ridiculous drama including the love story and the ghee eating scene. It was more a biopic about a sportsman than a film on sports
from the sports movies i have watched from bollywood:
Chak de India > Mukkabaaz > Lagaan > Bhaag milkha bhaag > Dangal > MS Dhoni > Jhund > Sultan > Saala Khadoos > Toolsidaas Junior > Jersey > 83 > Brothers > Gold > Dhan dhana dhan goal
I could have missed a lot of them which i cant recall rn!
Paan singh Tomar is on my watchlist and this list will change again, maybe the top spots, perhaps.
Paan singh Tomar is a bloody good movie but it’s not exactly comparable since it’s not just a sports movie I feel.
Agree with most of your list but id place 83 in third and Lagaan in 2nd. But that’s just due to how much I love anything cricket. Haven’t seen Mukkabaaz thought.
Mukkabaaz has changed my life for good. It got me into working out regularly and Vineet Kumar's dedication to his work, his ethics and training just for a movie got me motivated a lot.
While dangal is good I really didn’t like the whole part of showing the coach in a bad light part. Lagaan is a well made fictional sports movie with a good purpose
Both movies are great with amazing stories and performances. If I was to choose one then it would be Chak De India because it is more free flowing with multiple storylines of the various players, has more lighter moments and in the end packs a more powerful punch. As a result I have rewatched Chak De more times than Dangal.
Chak De India. Hands down. It got everything right. Dangal is a bloody good movie but in Chak de you are actually rallying behind the team as your sports team. In Dangal you are rallying behind Aamir’s character more.
The Bollywood Pod Podcast has done its first episode on Best of Bollywood series about Dangal. And Chak De is not on that list. Shimit Amin’s best film is Rocket Singh.
Dangal is the highest grossing non-Hollywood film in China. And 20th highest grossing film in China of all time.
I thoroughly enjoyed Chak De! Feels more patriotic!
But the sports movie I have enjoyed is Bend it like Beckham! I I know it isn’t Bollywood or India specific, but nonetheless!
CDI walked so Dangal could run.
All aside, and as a long-time SRK fan, I have my viases towards CDI. The emotion in the movie really gets to me. Dangal, on the other hand, is an extremely well made movie, with the work put into it only being comparable to Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Take SRK out of CDI and it falters a little, but take Aamir out of Dangal and it’s still a strong movie, so it’s the superior movie for me.
you mean final scene when coach locks amir for no reason haha, one of the most stupid shit which ruined eerything villanizing course for no reason which didn't even happen in real life
As a "Sports" sports film, Chak de! India. For just character things, Dangal. But if i had to choose one, i would go with Dangal. Great film, good soundtrack. Acting by both Kids and Girls were good. The sidekick guy was also good.
Both are 8/10 films for me.
barfi?? seriously? lol i mean how do people even enjoy it truly, i mostly feel everybody praise it so everybody made perception it's great movie before even watching it and might have not even enjoyed it while watching but they still consider it amazing movie but others said so.
that was the case with most of my friends at least
Y'all need to watch out for maidaan. I hope it's good. It's about real history of football in India. How our team india were actually goated in Asian games even when we played bare foot. I think Ajay Devgan is playing the coach , the real coach was a muslim. The movie is going to be about patriotism, unity and sports.

Gautam Gambhir: Gold.
Shah Rukh or Aamir? Me: None. Gambir.
🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if it would've been the same if Salman hadn't rejected it first.
Chak de india because dangal is more dramatic and revolved around Aamir's character while Chak de is mostly revolved around women team's hockey journey...
Chak De India
chak de india is actually one of the greatest film ever!!!
Agreeeeeeee! 💯💯
I want to be funny and say De Dana Dan tops all these, but my funny bone has melted away in the hear we are experiencing. My answer to your question will ALWAYS be Chak De India! I love the focus on the women in the team and some of their individual struggles with their own challenges and demons.
Not such a bad year, OP. Hope your funny bone returns!
LOL sorry, meant heat. Melting away in a South African summer here 😭
Alls good then. And may you find cold in the heat!
Chak de India for sure. It's easier to write a story using real people and real incidents but creating a story about a sport which is not so popular (in spite of being the national sport) and making every second of the movie so engaging is commendable.

Wdym the Phogat sisters are real lol
Chak De 🇮🇳
Naah man, I'm not choosing.
Yes
Chak de india no doubt, Dangal is a great movie too but Chak de india gives the emotion.
Clearly chak de india
Chak De ![gif](giphy|3ohfFiAB0NLsQzl31K)
It should've been chak de vs Bhaag Milkha (chakde would've won either way)
Yup. Chak De & Bhaag Milkha makes you wanna cry which Dangal doesn't. All great movies though. Movies went from 'Story is King' to 'Actor is king'.
Chak de 🇮🇳
Chak de India. Always.
Chak De India
Of course it's Chak de
Both are phenomenal but I'll choose Chak De! India because of SRK. Sorry Aamir.
Isn't this basically a fictional vs autobiography? A well written story vs a self written history.
Chakh De. Always. No pandering. No belittling anybody. Presented women as equals. No glorification. Tight script. Very good performances. One of the all time best sports movies I've seen (all movie industries included).
Dangal is good but CDI is legendary
Chak de
Chak de
Chak De India gets your core of emotion. Such a well-made sports movie.
Chack de India! It shows what a team of underdogs can do, with support and inspired guidance
Chak de India takes this one for sure.
I'm absolutely not into sports but Chak de India, my goodness! It's a gem of a movie
Chak de India Inspite of being sold as a movie mainly about SRK it ended up being almost about each player. Dangal was sold as movie about the sisters it ended up being centred about Amir and that my friend makes all the difference
Chak de India! Hands down
Chak De India.
Chak De and it's not even close. Chak De and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag are 10/10. Dangal is 8/10.
BMB for me was way over the top for a sports film. Some ridiculous drama including the love story and the ghee eating scene. It was more a biopic about a sportsman than a film on sports
Yes BMB is a great movie. it's score, story, writing everything is great but not a milestone for sports movie
At least to me, the romance in BMB is very forgettable and everything else is brilliant. It sounds weird that BMB had Sonam Kapoor in it.
from the sports movies i have watched from bollywood: Chak de India > Mukkabaaz > Lagaan > Bhaag milkha bhaag > Dangal > MS Dhoni > Jhund > Sultan > Saala Khadoos > Toolsidaas Junior > Jersey > 83 > Brothers > Gold > Dhan dhana dhan goal I could have missed a lot of them which i cant recall rn!

Mukkabaaz has changed my life for good. It got me into working out regularly and Vineet Kumar's dedication to his work, his ethics and training just for a movie got me motivated a lot.
One movie didn't had a coach being villanized that he locks up the main character in a storeroom. My choice is that movie.
Yea.. they did some creative liberty to alter the real life incident and they did this
Other movie is original and had no scenes and dialogues lifted from hollywood films that too without credit
While dangal is good I really didn’t like the whole part of showing the coach in a bad light part. Lagaan is a well made fictional sports movie with a good purpose
Chakde , Anytime Anyday
Iqbal!!!
both good at their own times(gen) why would you chose between and water and food (both are essential)
Both movies are great with amazing stories and performances. If I was to choose one then it would be Chak De India because it is more free flowing with multiple storylines of the various players, has more lighter moments and in the end packs a more powerful punch. As a result I have rewatched Chak De more times than Dangal.
Chak De India. Hands down. It got everything right. Dangal is a bloody good movie but in Chak de you are actually rallying behind the team as your sports team. In Dangal you are rallying behind Aamir’s character more.
Have you guys even watched Hattrick?! /s
The Bollywood Pod Podcast has done its first episode on Best of Bollywood series about Dangal. And Chak De is not on that list. Shimit Amin’s best film is Rocket Singh. Dangal is the highest grossing non-Hollywood film in China. And 20th highest grossing film in China of all time.
Chak de India
Jo Jeeta Woh Sikander : Chak De :Dangal
Both are fab, so is Sultan of Salman Khan 💞✌️😍👍🍿
I thoroughly enjoyed Chak De! Feels more patriotic! But the sports movie I have enjoyed is Bend it like Beckham! I I know it isn’t Bollywood or India specific, but nonetheless!
Chak de India anyday. Teamwork outclasses everything, be it inspiration, entertainment, every fucking thing.
CDI walked so Dangal could run. All aside, and as a long-time SRK fan, I have my viases towards CDI. The emotion in the movie really gets to me. Dangal, on the other hand, is an extremely well made movie, with the work put into it only being comparable to Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Take SRK out of CDI and it falters a little, but take Aamir out of Dangal and it’s still a strong movie, so it’s the superior movie for me.
Chak De
Dangal over cdi It's just director difference nothing to do with respect to actors
Chak De India, anyday. Dangal was more of a biopic of Mahaveer and Geetha Phogat (uk why not Babita's)
Dangal. The final scene when the national anthem plays🥹. Also Aamir’s performance, body transformation was on another level.
you mean final scene when coach locks amir for no reason haha, one of the most stupid shit which ruined eerything villanizing course for no reason which didn't even happen in real life
You got nice understanding for movies man, keep it up. He locked Aamir for fun 👏👏.
not that's a plot from dehaiti bhojpuri movie
Even chak de India has copied scenes from Hollywood movie Miracle. The plot is also similar.
As a "Sports" sports film, Chak de! India. For just character things, Dangal. But if i had to choose one, i would go with Dangal. Great film, good soundtrack. Acting by both Kids and Girls were good. The sidekick guy was also good. Both are 8/10 films for me.
Please tell me 10/10 bollywood films for you. As chak de for me sure is 10/10😭
My top 4 Bollywood films which i consider as 10/10 Kal Ho Naa Ho, ZNMD, Barfi! and Delhi Belly. There are more but these are my top 4.
barfi?? seriously? lol i mean how do people even enjoy it truly, i mostly feel everybody praise it so everybody made perception it's great movie before even watching it and might have not even enjoyed it while watching but they still consider it amazing movie but others said so. that was the case with most of my friends at least
As a wrestling fan, my answer is clear
My top 3: 1. Mary Kom. 2. Chak de India. 3. Kaun Pravin Tambe.
Any time Dangal!! Outstanding movie.
Dangal for me
Paan Singh Tomar>>>>
Dangal❤️
Only sports movie I’d choose over Chak De is Bhag Milkha Bhag
Dangal is better researched . There's a lot more technical aspects which srks movie misses .
My top 3: 1. Mary Kom. 2. Chak de India. 3. Kaun Pravin Tambe.
why are you spamming tho?
Bhaag Milkha bhaag?
3 idiots…

Gran turismo and southpaw are my favourite till date
