"India Untouched - Stories of a People Apart" Director: Stalin K.  Cinematography: Stalin Kurup Nirmala Nair Sooraj Nambiar Anuradha Srinivasan Genre: Documentary   Edited by: Stalin K Nirmala Nair Release date: 14th April 2007 “India Untouched - Stories of a People Apart” is perhaps the most comprehensive look at Untouchability ever undertaken on film.

Chak De India is a sports film that is realistic, energetic, entertaining, and uplifting in spirit. The film deals with India's much ignored national sport Hockey, a girls hockey team which is ignored to the sidelines, a bit of patriotism, team spirit, and finally the spirit of triumphs over obstacles. The film is also partly based on the real-life of former hockey player Mir Ranjan Negi. The film has a simple script and the screenplay has wit, drama, emotions, etc which are extremely convincing. The execution too by Shimit Amin is first class as the film unfolds in an engaging and adept manner. Th...
