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?

Agent Kelly is sent overseas to assist the Taiwanese government’s search for the killers. Initially guided by an American diplomat (Wendy Crewson) and a Taiwanese official (Tzi Ma), he soon realizes that not only is he an unwelcome guest in a foreign land, but that something more treacherous is happening beneath the surface. 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.
