“The Great Indian Casino” Theatrical Poster
Over the years, many casino-themed films have made an impression on audiences all over the world. As entertaining (and rewarding) the act of gambling may be in real life, scenes of gambling in movies are equally as entertaining on the big screen.
This year, India is giving the world a glimpse of The Great Indian Casino, a Hindi-language thriller from writer/director Rupesh Paul (Kamasutra 3D, Saint Dracula 3D) that stars Asif Basra (Outsourced), Pankaj Berry (Mere Gunaah), Ravi Jhanghu (Karim Mohammed) and Ameesha Patel (Shortcut Romeo).
Although the plot and setting of the The Great Indian Casino comes off dark, India is actually known for having some of the most legitimate and best online casinos, which shows when it comes to the presentation of their Slots, Table Games and Video Poker. One of the most popular casinos in India right now, is leovegas. It might remind many of the casino movies with it’s theme and structure. Even though it is considered as one of the best casinos, it is still recommended to check the leovegas review and see what their benefits are and what we should know before accessing it. Now, let’s start analyzing the movie.
Here’s what you can expect from The Great Indian Casino’s, via the film’s official plot below:
Karma works in mysterious ways. This is a story of 4 childhood friends, now the owners of a big illegal establishment called The Great Indian Casino formed using dark and violent ways; They watch its downfall right in front of their eyes despite of managing all these years with their clever strategies and escaping every time. All it takes is one man with the right intention and may be some help from his interesting partner. This is a game of survival, success, luck and love.
With a plot like that, The Great Indian Casino might have a chance to join the ranks of some of the most entertaining casino-centric films the world has to offer:
Hollywood brought us Martin Scorsese’s Casino (1995), Rounders (1998) and the Oceans Eleven (2001) series from Steven Soderbergh, as well as the recent, all-female version titled Ocean’s 8 (2018).
From Hong Kong came the God of Gamblers (1989) series, Casino Raiders (1989) and more recently, the From Vegas to Macau (2014) series; and South Korea introduced us to the Tazza: The Hidden Card (2014) films.
Of course, there are those gambling-themed films that audiences forgot about, such as 2008’s 21, which suffered from race controversy over the decision to make the majority of the characters white Americans, even though the main players in the book Bringing Down the House, upon which the film 21 is based, were mainly Asian-Americans (but that’s another story). And do we even need to mention 2014’s The Gambler, starring Mark Wahlberg, which was a remake of the superior 1974 film that starred James Caan and Paul Sorvino. Dare we bring up Kenny Rogers: The Gambler (1978), but we do admit, we like the song he recorded for the film.
Personally, our favorite is the cult classic 1997 film Swingers. Even though the act of gambling plays a small part in the film, it’s truly a memorably sequence. As Trent (played by Vince Vaughn) says: “I’m telling you baby, you always double down on 11!”
