LIMITED

Teen Patti NR 140 minutes SCOPE

Set in India and England, starring two acting legends of our times czar of the Indian film industry, Amitabh Bachchan and Academy Award Winner Sir Ben Kingsley Teen Patti is an emotionally riveting and razor sharp thriller about greed, deception and giant feats of imagination. Sir Ben Kingsley, essays Perci Trachtenberg, regarded as the world’s greatest living mathematician. Perci meets Venkat, played by Amitabh Bachchan, a reclusive math genius from India, at a casino in London. Venkat tells Perci about an equation that could not only change the dialogue on mathematics forever but one that has imprinted guilt for many painful reasons on Venkat’s life. As it turns out, the reclusive genius Venkat has cracked a theory that could redefine the principles of probability and randomness. One of Venkat’s fellow professors, Shantanu - essayed by South Indian super star R Madhavan encourages him to test the theory out in the real world. Madhavan believes Venkat’s equation could crack the card game, Teen Patti, which could rake in all the moolah. Along with a few students, each with a complex fate, they explore the addas (underground gambling dens) of Bombay. A series of edge-of-your-seat escapades keep the film moving faster than a bullet. But what starts out as an experiment between a charismatic young professor and an eccentric older one quickly descends into a game neither can control. As their lives sink into maddening chaos, the greed and desperation that fuelled them can no longer save them. Perci understands that Venkat’s theory in essence questions the idea of what is random - and of what is fated. A deeply moving redemption, initiated by Perci, closes this stupendously modern film that is as much about the private equations of honor and chance, and about knowledge that can change the world. But what if the price of this knowledge is life itself?

With the help of Ming (Will Tiao), a Taiwanese activist, Agent Kelly discovers the unsettling truth about the island once called Formosa, leading to dangerous and painful consequences. Agent Kelly finds himself on a collision course with the U.S. State Department, the Chinese Mafia, and ultimately the highest levels of the Republic of China government in Taiwan, where this FBI agent discovers how a complex web of politics, identity, and power affects the lives and destinies of the citizens in all three countries including his own.

My Name is Khan 160 minutes SCOPE

Theirs was a storybook romance told against the shadow of a great American city, until a series of life-changing events threatened more than just their own happiness. Imagine what happens when a single act from a determined man seeking forgiveness and love lost can do to inspire the hearts and minds of a wounded nation. In MY NAME IS KHAN, Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol Devgan inhabit the most challenging roles of their careers. Rizvan Khan is an honorable Muslim man from India, living with Asperger’s Syndrome, who falls unconditionally for the beautiful Mandira, a Hindu single mother living out her version of the global dream of success. Yet, when an unspeakable act of cowardice tears their family apart, Khan selflessly embarks on a powerful journey through a contemporary America that is as complex as the terrain of the human heart. He innocently becomes that most unlikely act of defiance, one of peace and compassion. He provides a sobering reality that touches the lives of every person he crosses. In the name of the woman he loves, a curious stranger will introduce himself to the world simply by saying, ‘My name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist.’ Fox Searchlight Pictures presents MY NAME IS KHAN, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Jimmy Shergill and Tanay Chheda.

A smooth talking, coercive ‘no man’, Rick turns John’s life upside-down when he not only moves into his building, but starts working at his competitive law firm. Here, every new guy represents another obstacle on the path to partnership.

Quickly spiraling downward into an intense fable reminiscent of the Coen Brothers’ BLOOD SIMPLE and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, TERRIBLY HAPPY displays a unique, often macabre vision of the darkest depths to which people will go to achieve a sense of security and belonging.
