Hey all, congrats on the new CC! Edited by psawyer - 13 years ago

Congratulations, LadyM😆  Wonder if Kavya will show up to act like a drama queen over this😆

I feel mehh about Patiala House....has a veryyyyyyyyyyy jaded quality to the storyline.....seen it way too many times (Indian person born/brought up in England wanting to play football/cricket for England😆) and the one song promo I saw.....laung da lashkara or something was SO blahhhhh🥱.....don't see much chemistry b/w Akshay-Anushka and doesn't seem like Anushka has much to do in the movie other than mouth cliched lines to encourage Akshay to go live his dream *rolls eyes*

Yeah, the story is cliche....but I guess it depends on the writing/acting/directing to see how well they come out of this. Having said that, the director is Nikhil Advani....so he can either go the KHNH way, or the CCTC way....or will it be a disaster like Salaam-e-Ishq? question is, is it better than Kal Ho Na Ho or worse than Chandni Chowk? Not inspiring too much confidence in me...but the actors are all very capable, so I guess my hope is that they pull it out of wherever NA has left it 😆 Edited by psawyer - 13 years ago

Anu, Vasu - I second Anu's opinion. Although initially it looked interesting, on second, third viewing, I too feel that the promo has a jaded look to it. It seems like a combination of JA's "Goal" or Gurindar Chaddha's "Bend it like Beckham" to me. Almost like the makers were trying to appease England after Lagaan. Anushka seriously doesn't seem to have much to do in the movie. It seems that her role was extended later on, to capitalize on her popularity after Band Baaja Baraat.

LOL ... Kavya doesn't mind anyone else on the first place - she only competes with Mash! 😆

Vasu - So I heard as well ...

Anu - So Ankita is saved by the judges and MR is staying back ... good news for all their fans :-)

It seems too masala to me....with the huge list of random "aaho ji, we are PUNJABIS" type of characters in the huge family and all this OTT colorful-song dance routine.....sports movies are rarely well made....usually the ones with more simplicity are the better ones cuz they have heart...this movie looks sorta artificial and OTT to me with more energy expended in adding on the window dressing of random song-dance routines with sadly not even good music to speak of.  Anushka and Akshay look so awkward together to me in that promo....no chemistry to speak of....lol

Don't remind me of CCTC....WORST movie I've ever seen in my LIFE.....ppl bitch about Tees Maar Khan...I say that has NOTHING on how UNBELIEVABLY RETARDED a movie CCTC was....I still shudder at the memories......KHNH worked cuz of KJo's script I think.....there was nothing exceptional direction wise there.
