My rating and review is strictly based on dubbed Hindi version.
There are two kind of audience to this movie. One, who have seen Patiala House(PH); and second, who have not. Movie carries a lot from Akshay 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 to deal 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 comic situations are lost in translation. I hope that Russell peters' joke must have been good because I couldn't get a laugh in dubbed version. Most disappointing fact was that someone else(probably Raju kher) did the voice-over for Anupam kher.
All in all watch it ONLY if you have access to Breakway and steer clear of Dubbed version, Speedy Singhs.

I liked the acid humor, the conflicting relationships with witty little patties are captivating, the games are tiring and boring, a regular movie ... When it became a musical it broke the mood a little, not necessarily in a positive way, a cute romance, sugar water, but from the middle to the end I dispense...
