Another brainless flick is Singh Is Kinng. If you want to see full comedy genre movie with mindless facts then you should go to see Singh Is Kinng flick. There is only Fun, nothing else.
Producer Vipul Shah, Director Anees Bazmee, Actor Akshay Kumar and Actress Katrina Kaif are four names for whom success has become a habit. That makes Singh Is Kinng the most awaited movie of the season. Must add, the wait was worth it!
Bazmee's films are very high on entertainment. The plotline may be paper-thin, perhaps comical and nonsensical, but when did Bazmee ever promise an entertainment? Singh Is Kinng works because it delivers what it promises.
Singh is Kinng is going to find its audience despite being a no-brainer. And, the audience isn't going to be just the Singhs, spilling across the globe. It's going to be people like us who are suckers for corny comedy that breeze across the screen in a string of unstoppable gaffes, demanding nothing from you, other than a bunch of goofy grins.
Lakhan Singh aka Lucky (Sonu Sood) is the King of the Australian criminal world, accompanied by his associates (played by Javed Jaffrey, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa, Yashpal Sharma, Kamal Chopra and Sudhanshu Pande). Far away, in a small village in Punjab, where Lucky was born, there exists someone more infamous than him -- Happy Singh (Akshay Kumar).
The village is fed up of Happy's high-mindedness, which has resulted in a number of hilariously devastating situations. Out of worry, they decide to send him on a long trip (that will keep him out of the village for a while!) to bring Lucky back to Punjab, as his despicable deeds were maligning their image in Australia.
The happy-go-lucky bumpkin, taking his mission a bit too seriously, embarks on his journey, accompanied by his friend, Rangeela (Om Puri), who hates Happy for dragging him into it.
The high point of his journey is his chance meeting with Sonia (Katrina Kaif), with whom he falls in love, but upon reaching his destination, things take a precarious turn as he runs into a series of comic misadventures, leaving him penniless. He is fortunate to find affection and love in an elderly lady (Kirron Kher).
In a weird turn of events, an effort on Lucky's life is foiled by a well-intentioned Happy, who fights off the attackers by risking his own life. Following the argument, Lucky lands up in hospital paralyzed and Happy, unexpectedly, finds the tables turned on him when he is expected to assume the role of the new King.
Few minutes into the film and you know that Singh Is Kinng is a lavish spectacle that"s high on entertainment. Sonu Sood chasing a gora killer at the very start or minutes later, Akshay chasing a hen -- Singh Is Kinng starts with zest.
And Bazmee doesn't let you wear your thinking caps all through the first hour. From India to Egypt to Australia, from the comforts of his home in Punjab, to the humble abode of a woman selling flowers in Sydney (Kirron Kher), Singh Is Kinng involves you in the journey.
And then Akshay becomes the King. Oh, how he becomes the King is equally very funny. The sequence at the hospital (Sonu Sood is diagnosed with a weird disorder) is simply comical. There's a twist in the tale at the intermission point.
If you've loved No Entry and Welcome, you'd love Singh Is Kinng also. This time, Bazmee shares the writing credits with Suresh Nair and the duo come up with some real crazy episodes. In terms of production design, this is Bazmee"s most lavish fare so far. It's an extravagant product.
Pritam's music is already trendy and it compliments the goings-on completely. Ben Nott and Sanjay Gupta's cinematography is top notch.
Akshay Kumar takes quick strides with Singh Is Kinng. Sure, you've seen him in comic fares time and again and perhaps, there might be a doubt, Will he carry it off yet again? Oh yes, he does!
Katrina Kaif looks stunning in sarees and enacts her part with tremendous confidence. Kirron Kher is excellent and so is Om Puri. tremendous performances! They compliment Akki so well. Ranvir Shorey is matchless. Sonu Sood is another actor who's finally getting his outstanding in Hindi films. Javed Jaffrey's character works big time till he does a somersault in the pre-climax. Neha Dhupia is attractive. The clash between Sudhanshu Pandey and Yashpal Sharma is perfect. Manoj Pahwa is fine.
On the total, Singh Is Kinng lives up to the hype and expectation.
