Patiala House
Expectations are high from director Nikhil Advani’s soon to be released film ‘Patiala House’ that is slated to hit the screens on December 31, 2010. The movie would cast action Superstar Akshay Kumar in his quintessential comedy avatar and a box office success Is a given. To bring back the romance of the 1970s, Advani has also cast the hit duo of Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia who are expected to have an important role in the 3 hour long film.
As the name suggests the movie is set in Patiala in Punjab hence you can expect a lot of punjabi slapstick humour laced with sexual innuendoes. The movie revolves around a punjabi joint family and a second generation young punjabi lad who lives in London.
While working this young man meets a beautiful maiden (played by Anushka Sharma) who gives him the strength to challengeconventions even if it means going against long cherished family traditions.
The movie is expected to rake in large sums in the box office since Akshay’s popularity as a young punjabi boy has been well documented. Whether portraying himself to be a rash (often uncouth) punjabi in London Dreams (opposite Katrina Kaif) or playing a simpleton in Singh is King, the action heartthrob has become one of the most highly paid actors in the country today.
His stint as a chef on Star Plus – Master Chef India – has given him a direct access to every household in the country and into the hearts of millions of Indian housewives. Advani’s partnership with the celebrated music tripartite of Shankar Ehasan and Loy would once again be seen in this movie. The four worked together for the first time in Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Kal ho Na Ho’ in 2005 which rocked the music box office. Produced by Mukesh Talreja and additional music by Pritam, Patiala House would be one of the most eagerly awaited films post Diwali.
