A hockey enthusiast since 12 years of age, Toronto-based Rajvinder Singh, even went to the extent of trimming his hair, discarding his Pagriturban, did not complete his education, incurred the wrath of his father, Darvesh, who wanted him to be involved in the family business as well as confirm and respect Sikh religion principles and values. Hoping to play professional hockey, Rajvinder, along with other fellow Sikh players, instead finds himself treated as the object of ridicule, referred to as a joker, by mainstream Caucasian players. Even his friends tease him and ask him to take up Guli Danda and Kabaddi, while his father makes him work for Uncle Sammy as a truck driver.

Watch it... Avoid it...
My rating and review is strictly based on dubbed Hindi version. There are two kind of audience to this movie. One, who have seenPatiala House(PH); and second, who have not. Movie carries a lot fromAkshay kumar's PH. Change the cast, remove cricket and add Ice hockey &insert a friendly uncle instead of cousins and you get Breakaway. It also carries the same flaws that PH had. The plot has so much todeal with that its neither a full patriotic sports movie like Chak de,India! nor a family/love story like PH or Apne. Most of the comicsituations are lost in translation. I hope that Russell peters' jokemust have been good because I couldn't get a laugh in dubbed version.Most disappointing fact was that someone else(probably Raju kher) didthe voice-over for Anupam kher.All in all watch it ONLY if you have access to Breakway and steer clearof Dubbed version, Speedy Singhs.

A fun family film
The movie was enjoyable overall. The film was nearly identical to Bendit Like Beckham. Anupam Kheer played the same role. The film has asolid cast and many local Toronto celebs.The film is worth watching for Camilla Belle alone. She is a beautifulwomen and she looks amazing in Indian clothes. She is not the bestactress, but makes up for it in looks.The film had it's funny moments, but could have been so much funnierwith Russell Peters playing the future son-in-law role. If you arelooking for a fun, entertaining, and light hearted film, this is a goodmovie.

An un-necessary film with nothing but repetition.
Right from the day when the first look of the film was revealed, SPEEDYSINGHS failed to create any kind of excitement even in the northernPunjabi belt of the country due to its repeated, uninteresting andforced kind of content. There was nothing new in the storyline, nonovel idea to offer in the name of sports and no freshness in itslooks, concept or presentation.So, without going into its story details, which is easily predictable,I would like to share that whenever a movie like SPEEDY SINGHS comes,it simply forces me to think that there has to be some other fishyreason to make and spend time on such worthless projects. Becauseotherwise, there is no way, someone can think of making it with anykind of cinematic vision at all. In short, it's a silly mixture of allseen before sequences which do not give you even a single moment toenjoy in the whole film.Now, why Akshay Kumar associated himself with this and even produced itwith his full spirits again sends me into the suspicious zone. FranklyI think Akshay is now overdoing and dangerously playing with hispopular SINGH IS KINNG image in a very funny way. At times it becomesquite hilarious to see the desperation in his SIKH portrayal on thescreen with that entire fake make up. And with SPEEDY SINGHS he isagain going to experience failure, like his last unsuccessful venturePATAILA HOUSE based on an identical sports theme of Cricket. Hence itstime he switches on to a different fresh mode at the earliest.The film raises many valid interesting questions regarding its overusedplot and execution. Obviously the makers were not focused on the IndianMarket since they have chosen Ice Hockey in the script which is not asport played in our part of the world. So, Indian market was just goingto be a bonus for them in case the film was a HIT.But, I seriously couldn't understand why Akshay and Anupam Kher saidyes to the script, when they both had already done a similar movie inthe past dealing with two different sports. Surprisingly Anupam Kherplays an exactly identical role to what he played in Gurinder Chaddha'sBEND IT LIKE BECKHAM which revolved around Football. And Akshay himselfplayed the lead in recent PATIALA HOUSE which talked about a Punjabiunderdog player willing to play Cricket for England against the will ofhis father. Incidentally in that film too there was a sequenceexplaining Akshay's "Hair Cutting Act" as shown in SPEEDY SINGHS, whichhas been deliberately added only to satisfy the religious sentiments ofa particular section of viewers.Actually the film is called BREAKWAY in its original English title andis directed by Robert Lieberman, who amazingly uses all 'ages old'Indian ingredients for his foreign film. There is family drama, a loveangle, a group of friends as a team, a deliberately added Punjabi comiccharacter, and almost everything which we repeatedly see in all theRegional Punjabi films made nowadays. But the weakest part of SPEEDYSINGHS is that despite of being a Sports Film, it never offers a greatcrescendo kind of euphoria towards its end, featuring the obvious winof the SINGHS team. And the viewer keeps wondering, Is this really afilm written around an exciting sport?However, in case you loved its groovy track "Shera Di Kaum Punjabi",heavily promoted by Akshay himself, then I would like to comment thatSPEEDY SINGHS has simply got nothing even close to a Sher (LION), Speedor Sport. So better play an indoor game at home with your entire familyinstead of watching this un-necessary film in the theater.

Game misconduct!
I hoped that this would be an enjoyable movie, considering that thevery funny Russell Peters was in it; unfortunately, it was LAME.The jokes generally fell flat. Pot calling the kettle black? Really?! Iam surprised that we never heard, "I know you are, but what am I?" Potcalling the kettle brown would have been funnier.The plot had no periods of intensity ... certainly nothing that made megive a rat's ass about what happened and nothing worthy of beingfollowed by "denouement".When Raj is served the very hot dish at Patel's, and his love interest,Melissa, eats it, she is desperate for a glass of water. In that scene,Raj knocks over the glass then hands it to her. It was very obviousthat there was no liquid in the glass before or after it was knockedover. Presumably the "knocking over" was an error. Was this such a lowbudget movie that they could not shoot another take to make it evenlook remotely real?!How is it that Raj has a Canadian accent, but his younger brother hasan Indian accent, even if only slight? Were they not both raised in thesame household in Canada?The appearance of Drake in the movie (apparently a friend of RussellPeters in really life) was oh-so-contrived. While it is possible thatsomeone of his calibre would be hanging out at the same bar as theseregular Joes, even if he were, we are expected to believe that he wouldsing for someone - someone he does not know - just because they askedhim (and God knows how Raj got past his entourage to even ask him)?The whole issue with turbans vs. helmets - presumably, a criticalmoment - was brought up so casually and then "solved" so casually itwas laughable. And Raj was able to have ancient-style Sikh warriorhelmets retrofitted to CSA standards - and thus be acceptable for playin the league - within a week (yes, the dialogue even mentioned thatthey only had a week)?! Really?! Come on! Extremely disappointing. Perhaps, Mr. Peters, like Brent Butt provedwith "Corner Gas", you should stick to stand-up ... you're much funnierthere.
