The ascendency of India as an economic world power

Indian Women's Hockey Federation (IWHF) is optimistic about Chak De India. The organization helped Yashraj Films in the making of Chak De India. If this movie becomes a success then women’s hockey will get immense benefit as many girls will get interested about hockey. So, IWHF officials are now optimistic that Chak De India will help hockey to become more popular.

NDTV reported:

Shah Rukh Khan's bunch of young and fiesty women hockey players are ready to hit the screens on Friday when Chak De India releases all over and the Women's Hockey Federation hopes it will make the sport popular across the country.

The film revolves around the story of an Indian women's hockey team that goes on to win a World Cup.

Even if Chak De India becomes a flop yet it will do some good to women’s hockey. In fact, the movie has already helped to create a huge media buzz about women’s hockey in India. I cannot think of any other time when the media gave so much coverage to women’s hockey. So, IWHF officials should really be very happy.
