Teen Patti Movie Review: I saw the movie Teen Patti today 2/26 despite a raging snowstorm in NYC.

What a waste of time. I won’t even go into the details as I can’t waste any more of my life on this movie. Just trust me. IT’S LIKE THE MOVE 21 WITH TWISTS but 1/20th as good. The Cast and crew deny it in numerous interviews but you’ve got to be kidding me. Even the songs are average and nothing to write home about!

Possibly the only bright point was Ben Kingsley’s acting. If you are big fan of his and have hours to waste, go see it. Amitabh Bachchan disappoints except for his speech at the end. The Brazilian model Maria Gomez / Gomes does a great item number but watch it on you tube. The link in on my blog.

I should have watched Karthik Calling Karthik which also released today or My Name is Khan instead based upon what I hear.

My recommendation is skip it and if you have a hankering for a gambling / poker movie, get 21 on DVD or Netflix.

Teen Patti the movie is an eagerly awaited Bollywood Film starring the Bollywood Icon, Amitabh Bachchan and Ben Kingsley, the actor who played Gandhi in the award winning movie of the same name. The film is directed by Leena Yadav and produced by Ambika Hinduja, the daughter of one of the billionaire Hinduja brothers under her serendipity films banner.

The movie seems to be based upon the Hollywood movie 21 about a MIT professor who recruits his best students to count cards in Las Vegas Casinos thereby earning a lot of money. The original film 21 starring Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne was based upon the book “Bringing Down The House” by Ben Mezrich or was it Busting Vegas?. Recently the discovery channel has a two hour documentary on the story called Breaking Vegas.

Teen Patti, the film seems to be a copy of the movie 21 but is based in the college town of Cambridge, UK and is based around London Casinos also the game is not Blackjack but Teen Patti. I understand that it is also shot in Pune. I expect the plot to be very similar to 21 with a few changes to the storyline. Although Ms. Yadav denies this and stated “‘I don’t deny the two films sound similar although I haven’t seen ’21′. My script was written long before ’21′ was released. So there’s no question of me being inspired by the film”

Teen Patti has Ben Kingsley playing Perci Trachtenberg (Ben Kingsley), one of the greatest living mathematicians of the world. Amitabh Bachchan plays Venkat Subramaniam, a reclusive math genius from India.

The film casts Madhavan, Siddharth Kher, and newcomers Dhruv Ganesh, Vaibhav Talwar as students. It also stars Raima Sen and Sharaddha Kapoor – Shakti Kapoor’s daughter as students. Maria Gomez, a Brazilian model has an item number in the Niyat song. Apparently she’s currently untracable.

Saira Mohan, the Canadian born, Indian, French and Irish supermodel plays a seductress. You can’t have high stakes casino scenes without a beautiful woman or two thrown in!

Apparantley, Richard Gere makes a guest appearance as does Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Shakti Kapoor and several other Hollywood and Bollywood stars. The producers are keeping a tight lid on the special appreances and the storyline to maintain an element of surprise.

Teen Patti is due for a Feb 26 2010 release.

I will be posting a review of Teen Patti as soon as I see it. It will be the first day first show!

Per the Official Teen Patti website “Venkat is a genius who is on the verge of cracking a theory that could redefine the principles of probability and randomness. Encouraged to test his theory in real life, Venkat trains five of his brightest protégées (Madhavan, Siddharth Kher, and newcomers Dhruv Ganesh, Vaibhav Talwar and Shraddha Kapoor) for high-stake gambling.

Meanwhile, Perci (Ben Kingsley) understands that Venkat’s new theory could have far reaching implication on mathematics and sciences. It’s a theory that questions the idea of what is fate and what is random.

A knowledge that can change the world can be dangerous in wrong hands. Soon, the experiment Venkat embarks on spirals into a deadly game beyond his control.”
