Patiala House (2011)

I've put off watching this movie for over three months now simply because I have been very disappointed by the last few films of Akshay Kumar. But this movie was a pleasant surprise. The story line is very predictable but the movie doesn't really disappoint in terms of story, acting or plots. The execution of the plot is excellent. Akshay Kumar looks great and so does Anushka Sharma, although her performance is forgettable and so is Dimpla Kapadia. Waste of her acting prowess - she only has one dialog in the movie. Rishi Kapoor looks great as a Sardar and I was hoping Akshay Kumar would don his sardar "avatar" too but he still looks great. I wasn't bored at any point in the movie and I would say the movie is definitely worth a watch

Fmovies: Patiala House:A perfect dish with all ingredients in the right measure..Anushka's bubbly character, Punjabi background, our original bobby couple Rishi and Dimple, the omnipresent Indian Shaadi and cricket.The film essentially debates the eternal Indian subject whether to put our dreams/wishes on the back burner for what tradition/parents demand or go against them to find success and happiness in pursuing our dreams. This movie really surprised me because i expected a gloomy tale looking at the trailers but Akshay's glum character is suitably balanced by the rebellious streak in all other well cast members , anushka's charm, her kid brother, and the wonderful track of Hard Kaur the singer which was a surprise once again and above all with fun songs well and differently picturised with no romantic songs/dream sequences in the swizz alps.highlight of the movie is when akshay manages to get the final wicket and i had a smile and moist eyes at the same time. Well done Akshay, a first for your acting capabilities.Kudos to lyricist.."Mujhe Yunhi karke Khabon Se Juda, Jaane Kahan Chupke Baitha Hai Khuda, Janoon na main kab hua Khudse Gumshuda" ..great stuff!!!Go, watch and have FUN this weekend.

First of all, I'd like to praise the entire production team, but especially the director, Nikhil Advani, for doing such a great job with this. It doesn't actually feel like a film because the characters are so believable and their livelihoods are very normal. The film's story is relatively simple, but it conveys a very important and nice message. Hats off to Akshay Kumar, Rishi Kapoor and Anushka Sharma - they all have given really good performances here. Dimple Kapadia and the supporting cast also do their parts really well. The music is also good. The best tracks are 'Adat hai woh' and 'Laungda Lashkara'. The screenplay is fabulous and the editing has been done very well.

Verdict: this film deserves to be a success at the box office - go for it!. I give it 8.5/10.

Patiala House fmovies. The script isn't flawless but it definitely has moments that will make you flow in the movie.The cast have done a great job.Rihsi Kapoor was Fantastic in his Mountain Solid role. Akshay does a fantastic work and Sharma plays a great role as a lover. The supporting star cast have also done a great job and if you go with family you'll definitely enjoy the film. It also has a few good comic punches , great song , nice drama and overall definitely a great movie to watch. Who knows you may start believing in Second Chances after you watch this movie.So , go ahead with friends and family and watch this awesome film. Positive points: 1.Great job by the entire cast. 2.Decent Script. 3.Heart Soothing Music and songs. 4.Very good family Drama.

The movie Patiala House has been much anticipated. Akki shouldn't be disheartened about earlier movies. i still stand by the fact that Chandi chowk was a good movie that went wrong because it was badly edited. Since "waqt"it has been a long time since we saw akki in a serious role. I can't help talking about him because he is my favourite. Fresh pairing of Akshay and Anushka adds a freshness and appeal to the film. Again additions of new actors was a good idea because it encourages people to appreciate new talent. Also a treat for lovers of Rishi Kapoor- Dimple Kapadia fans. People should appreciate this film as a movie on its own and not compare it to other cricket movies. The movie is not concentrating on cricket but on a person's dreams and aspirations. If you love akshay just like me,then you should watch it!

I haven't written movie comments for years, but I feel like this movie deserves a review.

I am one of those guys who has been cursing Akshay Kumar the last 2 years for making stupid movies, and getting a lot of popularity for cheap scale movies which has done big on the Box Office screen....I never really understood why people are so fund of watching the same comedy movies over and over Until the comedy aspect dies in the movie and it gets painful to watch the movie example: Action Replay, Tees Mar Khan etc.

BUT PATIALA HOUSE made me think different regarding Akshay Kumar and his acting....this movie Akki played very well, and showed his acting skills and he deserves to get credit for that. The show stealer in this movie is Rishi Kapoor, he was perfect as Akki's father and made a powerful impact. Rest of the cast was good and acted very matured and it was good to see Dimple Kapadia again...Anushka Sharma is a delight to watch, every entry she makes the crowd smile, and I can see her one day becoming a top actress in Bollywood.

so Is this movie worth a One time Watch: YES and Is this movie worth a Two time Watch: YES

Go for this movie, its worth every single cent.
