It’s been a long time since something happened on my blog so I decided to give u all the review for the much anticipated movie “Singh Is Kinng” which I truly expected would enhance my weekend but the tables always seem to turn around when u expect them to stay standstill. The movie which is expected to become the biggest comical blockbuster and whose music was already topping the charts carried (and still does for someone) a lot of weight of the self created hyper-hype (nice word na?).More than the dissapointment from the director what struck was the fact that the certain parts of movie turned out to be pakau despite having Akshay kumar.
The story first. Lucky Singh (Sonu Sood) is a king of a criminal gang, heading a team of other sardar criminals and Julie(Neha Dhupia).The gang is based in Australia. Happy Singh is a pure-at-heart sikh living in a village in India and always does something that results in chaos or loss of property in the village. The other residents of village have an idea and send Happy and Rangeela (Om Puri) to Australia to bring Lucky back. They both eventually reach Australia after some misunderstandings but are unable to convince lucky to go back. The story takes a turn when Lucky gets paralysed and happy is made the king. Also Happy who has fallen in love with Katrina (screen name forgotten...) wants her to be happy and has to organize Katrina’s and her boyfriend Ranvir Shorey’s marriage. Whether the marriage takes place and is Happy able to bring the criminals to the right path is what to see for.
The movie is a brainless masala. It’s the SQ (silliness quotient) which scores the highest as the crowds still fiddle with the question of what’s going on. The humour lacks in parts where it could have been substantially been present.Akshay Kumar seems to have been given the responsibility of tickling the funny bone. The other characters too provide a couple a hilarious dialogues and scenes in both the halves but it is far below the expectations created by the hype of movie makers. The story is there and is good keeping in view the sentiments of sardars .The movie surely scores in giving sardars various valuable lessons. First half seems more interesting and the movie seems to be stretched in the second half thanks to the hopeless performance of Ranvir Shorey. Dude where’s ur comic timing??The veterans Om Puri and Kiron Kher do a commendable Job though Om Puri seems to overdo some dialogues in the film. Katrina Kaif looks as beautiful as ever and that’s what she’s there in the movie for. She obv. disappoints with her dialogue delivery. The rest including Javed Jaffery have done a fair job. The locations shot on are extremely beautiful and the cinematography seems cool. The screenplay and direction have their flaws and is highlighted by the BQ (boring quotient) that gets to ur limit sometimes. The music seems to be the saviour for the film (though the much hyped- 2 –crore Snoop Dog song disappoints big tym).The music is brilliant and is def. foot tapping but u have been hearing the songs for a month now and don’t need to spend hundred bucks just to catch a glimpse of them when they can be seen for free on YouTube as well as on our TV sets.
To Go Or Not- A must watch for the sardars who’ll surely enjoy this flick. For the rest go watch it for Akshay Kumar or Katrina Kaif (whoever is ur fav.).If none of them is Go and Watch if u r vela and ur family needs an outing
My Rating- 2.75/5
