WHAT ITS ABOUT:
Rajveer (Vinay Virmani) is a punjabi-canadian boy who leaves college to pursue ice Hockey. Anupam kher plays his father who wants him to stop "wasting his time" with hockey and take part in the family business of truck-driving.
Rajveer wants to win a local hockey competition against some canadians. He organises a team of players who consist of neighbouring Punjabi boys and guess what he names the team ?
Director Robert Lieberman seems to like hockey a lot because he has already made a great disney hockey movie 'The Mighty Ducks'. Camilla Belle plays the love interest. The movie revolves around his relationship with his father, girlfriend and his hockey career.
WHATS GOOD:
The Humor of the movie is the first thing that struck me. Its pretty funny and your are guaranteed to LOLL(Laugh Out Loud Literally). Akshay Kumar makes a nice appearance and thankfully we dont see his do his stupid antics.
Russell peters who plays Rajveer's brother in law is pretty funny. Gurmeet Singh Guggi is pretty believable as a businessman. You might remember him from 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge'.
The music is pretty good especially the song "Shera di kaum punjabi". Its stuck in my head.!
Anupam Kher is Awesome as the "Disapproving Dad". No matter how many times I see him in that role I dont think Ill get bored.
The conflict between Father-Son seems very realistic and emotional.
WHATS BAD:
The movie tries to be a lot of things A family movie, a sports movie and a love story but falls short of everything.
The sports part is only nominal and only the final game is shown. The love story is unengaging and is kept there just to keep the bollywood fans happy. The movie seem too short for people who want a "Paisa Wasool" movie.
VERDICT:-
Speedy Singhs is a decent movie which will make you laugh and has a feel good effect to it. It has the Crispness of a Hollywood movie. Its a Great movie if your options are movies like "Mausam", "you are my jaan" and any other love crap that bollywood cooks up. Go Watch it.!
