Breakaway Movie Synopsis

Rajveer Singh (Vinay Virmani) has the talent to be one of the nation's top hockey players, but he has one problem: his father's devotion to work and family forbids him to play. Now, with the help of an unlikely new coach—and former NHLer—Coach Winters (Rob Lowe), along with the coach's 'off-limits' kid sister (Camilla Belle), and in spite of being constantly undermined by his entitled cousin (Russell Peters), he's putting together an unlikely all-Sikh hockey team behind his father's back; however, when his team makes an unexpected run for the Cup, and with the entire Sikh community inspired, Rajveer has to choose between playing on, or respecting his father's wishes.

  loved the toronto scenery and the performances...but the movie wasn't very good.

  Awesome breakthrough movie for Canadian born Vinay Virmani to do a story about his cultural background in a very local setting, Toronto as Toronto (rare on the big screen), and a sport familiar to all folks here, hockey!!! Somehow, I've forgotten how white Canada can be in the media, but at least this movie puts some contemporary color into it. Enjoyed it a lot. Worth the see; and I'm Canadian born with Chinese roots.

  so-so decent movie, better than I thought.
