I love this movie so much

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Leena Yadav got criticised badly with her first film Shabd which was a flop, she made a comeback with TEEN PATTI which was a launch of Shraddha Kapoor, Siddharth Kher and some more, it brought together Amitabh Bachchan with Ben Kingsley,alongwith Madhavan. The film is a remake of 21 which starred Ben Kingsley himself The film had an interesting premise but the execution doesn't work entirely,it has some fleeting cameos, a few necessary but some forced like Ajay Devgans The film has interesting twists and turns, onlything it gets slow paced and also at times it's difficult to understand But yet it is a decent filmDirection by Leena Yadav is decent Music is good, Neeyat Kharab Hai being the bestAmitabh Bachchan is simply outstanding, no other actor could play it better, Ben Kingsley is royally wasted in an inconsequential role, Madhavan is terrific in his role, Newcomers Siddharth Kher is good, Shradda Kapoor was pretty ordinary, Dhruv Ganesh is superb as Bikram, Vaibhav is okay, Ajay Devgan has one scene,Mahesh Manjerekar is fab in one scene, Shakti Kapoor makes a cameo, interestingly he plays a gambler who has a betting habit, and speaks bad language next to his daughter. Anjan Shrivastav and others are okay

This is one of the most senseless movies that I have ever come across. Most of the scenes just come and go by and you are left to wonder why were they included in the first place. There are many cameos in the movie but again no point of them. Here are my problems with this awful flick1) No character depth. None of the students seemed to have any parents to control their activities in the hostel. The students seemed to be least concerned about their safety and studies. By the way, was it actually an engineering college? Lol! 2) Shraddha's character is so badly written. That she is an Indian girl who might have some inhibitions before visiting these underground places in skimpy clothes is something that the director seems to have completely overlooked. And, anyway, why was she required in the gambling dens? Just to divert others attention towards something else so that her accomplices can carry on with their sign language safely? I mean how dumb is that! 3) When her character is molested or perhaps raped, then she doesn't seem to be too perturbed. neither did Amitabh's character show any sympathy towards her. And when that skinny guy committed suicide at the end, everything ended! I mean a girl's rape/molestation doesn't count for anything? 4) Anybody who has played Flash or who has studied probability will tell you that no matter how much you research it is impossible to do what Amitabh's character was shown doing in the movie. Does the director think we are all illiterate fools who would believe just anything? 5) Why was everybody so scared of being followed or being tracked? Is visiting gambling dens and winning some cash there so dangerous that everyone at once will start following you? Also, why did Abbas have to ask these group of dumbos to visit posh clubs? Don't they have any sense in their mind? I mean just because he is rich, only he can go to these high society clubs? 6) Why did Abbas get involved in the mess? To seek thrills? I mean come on, get a life! The only way to seek thrills is by attending these clubs and playing cards? You are loaded man, you have options galore!!! 7) What was up with that foreigner who seemed to be interested in Madhavan? In fact what was up with Tinu Anand, Shakti Kapoor and Ajay Devgan? Why were these people included? To look dumb in a crappy flick? 8) Why did all these actors sign this movie? Doesn't Amitabh have any idea about which scripts are good and which suck? He has so much of experience and he is also talented but one look at his filmography (RGV Ki Aag, Alladin, Teen Patti, Boom, Baghban and so on) will be able to convince you that that he lacks some brains! 9) Is it so easy to be out frequently from your hostel and college without any one suspecting you? Did Amitabh and Madhavan did not have any conscience considering the things that they asked their students to do? By the way, was Madhavan a professor? I mean, seriously, was he a teacher in the 'college'? 10) Was Amitabh a genius? He was shown playing this stupid game on the computer, then he seemed to be under the impression that the only people who would accept his theories and thesis are his employers, he actually believed that things could be levitated just like that (actually what was that levitating trick? are we a bunch of dumba**es who would believe that?), he was able to be manipulated so easily......does someone become a genius by aping Einstein? Aaargh, if you are planning to watch this flick, plz don't do it, it would be a wastage of your time. Highly un-recommended!

This is one of the worst movie i have watched...i was thinking how to get back my money after the movie...they basically ripped me off by putting amitabh bachan's and Ben Kingsley name in the movie...i don't understand why they have to be in the movie...the movie started off well and the story looks good on paper...its a example of a good concept and a bad execution...the acting was average..the plot was total goner..they could have easily made this an average movie by some simple correction...the music is average..i don't ustd y there was a lot of guess appreance which was not needed at all..in short..its a waste skip the movie..

Teen Patti is a complete disaster. There is no coherence and most of the scenes were just shot without having any context and meaning. There were some characters (Bikram's roommate, Ben Kingsley) who didn't have any reason to be part of this movie.The basic theme of the movie itself is technically flawed. Teen Patti is a game where maths cannot play any role in increasing your winning probability to more than 50% as opposed to Black Jack where card counting can increase your winning probability to more than 50%.The director didn't trust the intelligence of the audience enough to find it necessary to explain Professor Venkat's game strategy. There so many loose ends in the movie for which no explanation was offered as to the how's and why's behind Sid's money being stolen (the red bag of money) and placed in Bikram's room. The kidnap plot was very comical.I would rate 'Neal n Nikki', 'Home Delivery', 'Kisna' much better than this movie :)
