It
came as no surprise when Shimit Amin’s Chak De! India, a gritty tale of
Indian women hockey players that also starred 90 Australian players and
over 9,000 Australian extras, won the Best Film Award at the 5th
Australian Indian Film Festival gala night in Sydney on Thursday.Shimin also thanks Australians for accepting to lose in the final match
in the film. “They were gracious and sportsmanlike in their defeat.”The Sydney festival, which has writer and director Yash Chopra as its
patron, is attended by over 40,000 people each year. This year’s
screenings include Cheeni Kum, Dhoom 2, Eklavya, The Namesake and Laaga
Chunari Main Daag.Indian heartthrob Akshaye Khanna received the Best Performance Award
for his role in Gandhi My Father at the glittering ceremony hosted for
the first time at the Museum of Contemporary Arts, situated on the
Harbour foreshore overlooking the iconic Opera House.The awards were chosen by an esteemed group of Australian film critics,
including Peter Thompson (Showtime), Margaret Pomeranz (ABC TV At The
Movies), Nell Schofield (Channel 9 Sunday Show), Marc Fennell (Triple
J), Adrienne McKibbons (Metro Magazine) and Ian Taylor (ABC TV).Back home, Chak de! India has won applause from audiences and critics
alike. “I am encouraged to do something different. Chak de! India has
been great for Indian audiences at home and abroad,” Amin said.
