Story:
A disconnected
tale, the story is set on the backdrop of Canada and here lives the Desi
Rajveer (vinay). His dream is to become an ice hockey player. However,
his father (anupam kher) is particular that Rajveer follow the family
business and also do the required religious activities. On the other
hand, Ice Hockey is dominated by whites. With no other choice, Rajveer
decides to make his own team and calls it's the Speedy Singhs. He takes
the help of his Uncle Sammy (gurpreet) for sponsorship and gets a coach
(rob lowe). But with each round in the championship, Rajveer keeps
facing new challenges and most importantly, he doesn't inform his father
about it. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The
director has come up with a different storyline and while the
presentation was neat, the narrative was not strong. The dialogues were
decent and they were good at places. The script was not well written and
the screenplay was not upto the mark. Background score was good and
almost three songs were hummable. Cinematography was effective. Editing
was regular. Costumes were stylish and trendy while the art department
was appealing and rich. Vinay Virmani has come up with a decent
performance and scores. Akshay's brief role was alright. Anupam Kher has
done it before so it was usual. Camilla Belle looks seductive and she
was good. Gurpreet Guggi was alright. Russell Peters brought few smiles.
Sakina was sweet. The others were there to fill the screen. |
Conclusion:
Though
the teasers and the promos of the film showed great promise, the film
was not so. The prime reason for that was the poor writing. Moreover,
the backdrop of ice hockey is something not many in India can connect.
While the first half takes off on a lighter note, the second half
tumbles and by the time the climax arrives, there is not much enthusiasm
for the audience. Such ideas require tight scripts and good
entertainment quotient which was missing. At the box office, the film
will find it hard to survive barring few decent first three day
collections.
Bharatstudent Verdict: Good thought, poor execution |
