Rajveer is a hockey fanatic living in Toronto Canada and his family is
originally from India. His father
wants him to concentrate on his work in the family business and not spend so
much time and energy on hockey. Rajveer begins to have more hope for a hockey
career after their team gets help from a new coach. Also, the family business signs on as their sponsor to
provide new uniforms. Its possible
the team may have a chance at the Stanley Cup competition. Rajveer starts to become more
conflicted over his Sikh religion, the objections of his father and his family
traditions.
I have two problems with this hockey-meets-Bollywood film. The first problem is the sudden
bursting into song and dance. The second
problem is the tiredness of every step being so predictable with no surprises. I could not finish watching this film
because I could see where every scene was leading. 2* (I didn’t like this movie)

Special Note:
Filmed in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
There is a scene with Rob Lowe wearing a Mustang’s #10 Shirt. This is homage to the movie Youngblood
where Rob Lowe was Dean Youngblood.
He wore #10 for the Mustangs.
There is a mistake when the coach gives Rajveer a captain’s jersey. All the players move out and as they
pass him, he’s wearing the jersey?
There are three other films with the same title from 1966, 1995 and
2002.
