But is there a way out of the world of crime? Is there an end to human greed?

Review :-

The film is a taut thriller that's not only done With loads of Style and attitude, it also showcases a fine ensemble cast of youngsters who represent the edginess of today's youth. There is further enticement in the character. After the mesmerising Auro in Paa, Amitabh's eccentric mathematical wizard who talks to Albert Einstein, when he's alone, is immensely watchable in Teen Patti. There are his musings with Ben Kingsley, too.

Most of "Teen Patti" unfolds in down market gambling dens as the odd assortment of newbie gamblers four students, and a professor, along with Amitababh Bachchan test the theory of probability through the game of cards. But did not grand-mum tell us gambling is addictive. So, before you know, probability is set aside and greed sets in. Along with a bit of blackmail. For even if the professor wants to opt out of this game that's getting dangerous with each passing day, he really can not. While a young couple aspires to become the next Bonnie and Clyde, greed's corroding some others.

Now these are just a few tantalizing queries Teen Patti chooses to address. The second half does get somewhat repetitive, with the film refusing to move out of the gambling dens and the climax gets somewhat hurried. But majorly, the film holds as a taut thriller that keeps you glued for most of the screen time.

Amitabh Bachchan leads the Bratpack, With R Madhavan holding the rear.

Amongst the Bratpack, Shradha Kapoor Makes an Interesting Debut as the edgy youngster who sheds her Specs For Sleaze, with alacrity.

Again a good movie of Amitabh Bachchan.
