CHAK DE -----------------------------A REAL STORY
 
 
 

        Shah Rukh plays former Indian goalkeeper Mir Ranjan Negi, who fell from the grace after conceding seven goals against Pakistan in the 1982 Asian Games final, after which he was dropped from the side.

        Mir Ranjan Negi returned to the hockey field, most grudgingly, 16 years later as a coach for the women's team. India won the 1998 Asian Games gold at Bangkok. But the joy was short-lived as the ungrateful federation sacked Negi, along with six players.

 The affable Negi returned to train the girls, won the Commonwealth Games gold in 2002, again contributing as a coach.
