Starring legendary actors Amitabh Bachchan and Ben Kingsley, and directed by Leena Yadav (whose movies have premiered at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival), Teen Patti is about a mathematics experiment that ends in chaos, death and repentance.
The movie is about an Indian mathematician, Venkat Subramaniam (Amitabh Bachchan), who is invited to the University of Cambridge by Perci Trachtenberg (Ben Kingsley), whereupon he recounts his life as a Mathematics Professor in an unnamed Indian college, his theory of probability and his success playing card games. Venkat tests his equation to crack Teen Patti (an Indian card game derived from poker) at the addas (underground gaming dens) of wild Bombay, with the help of a few students and a colleague. But what started out as a naive experiment becomes a game of blackmail and greed that is both uncontrollable and inescapable.

Teen Patti
I had put a big blind bet on Teen Patti right after watching its first trailer. Gutsy and slick, it seemed like it’s going to be, for the lack of a better expression, a Trail. But director Leena Yadav deals some pretty sad cards here; so much so that I folded up, forfeited my bet and almost walked out of the theatre in the middle of the show. Amitabh Bachchan & Ben Kingsley are as important to this film as the joker cards often are to a deck of cards.
In brief, Teen Patti is the story of an unrecognised genius - a math professor played by Amitabh Bachchan, his colleague Madhavan and five of their students. Each one of them, driven by his/her own reasons, tries to cash-in on Bachchan’s latest discovery in the area of Probability - which of course finds a convenient application...

We were in awe. When we were shooting, we used to play games and we saw how perfect he is in tennis,' Yadav told Ians in an interview.She said there was a scene in the film where Bachchan's character had to play violin.'I got an expert to train him and kept telling him that the expert wants to show him how to hold the violin. But Mr.Bachchan insisted on doing it during the shot. When he came to the floor, the expert was standing to show him but he took the violin, placed it rightly and started playing perfectly.

Actor R. Madhavan will for the first time play a character with 'grey shades' in Bollywood in 'Teen Patti'. While he is a professor in the forthcoming film, the actor will also be seen sporting 'six different avatars' in the thriller that also features Amitabh Bachchan and Hollywood star Ben Kingsley.'I have different looks in the film.
