Patiala
House
is
touted
to
be
one
of
the
films
to
watch
out
for
in
2011.
The
film
stars
Akshay
Kumar
with
no
other
than
Anushka
Sharma,
who
is
now
a
hot
property,
after
the
immense
success
of
Band
Baaja
Baarat!
The
excitement
just
does
not
end
there.
This
film
also
brings
together
of
a
real
life
family
members,
Akshay
Kumar
and
Dimple
Kapadia,
on
celluloid.
For
the
uninitiated,
Patiala
House
is
the
story
of
a
Sikh
joint
family.
Four
generations
of
the
Kahlon
family
live
together,
in
a
suburban
house
in
London.
The
term
'Patiala'
in
this
film,
signifies
a
fourth
generation
Sikh
household
in
Southall,
London,
UK.
A
house
with
22
members
both
young
and
old
ruled
by
an
autocratic
and
big
headed
Gurtej
Singh
Kahlon
(Rishi
Kapoor).
A
house
where
the
disparity
in
thought
between
the
younger
and
older
generation
has
reached
a
simmering
boiling
point
and
mutiny,
rebellion
is
round
the
corner.
How
a
34
year
old
ex-cricketer
who
has
been
forced
to
sacrifice
his
dreams
for
his
fathers
ideals
is
given
a
second
chance
to
see
it
getting
fulfilled.
Talking
about
the
film,
both
the
producers
Mukesh
Talreja
and
Bhushan
Kumar,
say
in
unison
that,
"We
feel
that
this
is
a
film
that
every
Indian
will
be
able
to
identify
with,
as
almost
all
Indians
at
some
point
have
the
experience
of
living
in
a
joint
family.
Patiala
House
is
a
full
entertainer
with
all
the
ingredients
of
a
family
entertainer
thrown
in."
While
Nikhil
Advani
said,
"The
essence
of
Patiala
House
is
pursuing
your
dream
when
life
gives
you
a
second
chance.
In
this
pursuit,
Akshay
happens
to
be
a
cricketer,
but
he
could've
been
a
musician
or
a
poet.
It
can
be
your
story
or
mine.
Patiala
House
is
the
story
of
the
Kahlon
family,
and
their
travails."
Patiala
House
is
all
set
to
release
on
February
11.
