| There has
been a Talk on this movie and yes when you have one of the
hot and sexy pair Akshay-Katrina who make a comeback after
'Namastey London'. More of the hype is when you have the
director in Anees Bazmee captain of the board. One can only
know his Tremendous success with his previous flick Welcome
creating a box office record. So he we are 'Singh is Kinng',
the producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah who also had much success
with Akshay's 'Waqt' taking his turn again and one does not
have to comment on Akshay Kumar's box office record
specially the overseas track record. Does that mean he is
the new king of Bollywood? |

The
plot of the movies goes as such that Lakhan Singh
aka Lucky [Sonu Sood] is the don of the Australian
underworld, along with his colligates Javed Jaffrey,
Manoj Pahwa, Yashpal Sharma, Neha Dhupia, Kamal
Chopra and Sudhanshu Pande. In a small village in
Punjab, which happens to be the birth place of
Lucky, exists someone more infamous than him, he is
Happy Singh [Akshay Kumar].
The
village fed up of Happy Singh's notorious deeds and |

decide to air
him on a long trip get Lucky back to Punjab, as his
worthless deeds were spoiling their image in Australia. The
very happy to go Lucky, takes his mission very too
seriously, ventures on his journey, along with his friend,
Rangeela [Om Puri], who hates Happy for drawing him him into
this issue. The highlight of his journey is his meeting with
Sonia [Katrina Kaif], whom he falls in love with, but on
reaching his terminus, things go haywire they take a shaky
turn as he fumbles into lots comic
misadventures, leaving him moneyless til he is fortunately
finds warmth and affection in an elderly lady [Kirron Kher].
In this strange turn around, Lucky's life is spoilt by a
well-purposed Happy, who in turn fights with the assailants
by risking his own life. Following these affrays, Lucky
finally lands up in hospital in a
paralytic state and Happy, unknowingly finds the fortune
turned towards him when he is thought to acquire the role of
the new King. |

'Singh Is Kinng' truly relies on the heavily poised
star value of Akshay-Katrina duo and not much has
fit in the plot. There is no any doubt that this
flick has nothing much for the intellects and is
completely filled with some dotty lines and a bit
loose interactions between personas. But this time
forth, Bazmee fails at what he is an ace at.
seriously there aren't funny scenes or lines and the
movie somewhere gets lost in between the world of
glam and scenes of fantabulous localites. |

The first half has been well carried but the second
half seems to be a bit unfocused. The film which takes off
well with brilliance as of a Punjab da puttar Happy Singh
flying at par to get King but things
get mauled with the action and an out and out love triangle
between Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif-Ranveer Shorey. Javed
Jaffrey worsens as he gets into the act. he well irritates
with his slap-stick lines and
one does have to ask the writer what the double role was
for?
Some where in the film one would wonder if this flick was
really made with an adamant script or was just the story was
initiated using the so called stardom that Akshay has been
enjoying at the box office. Maybe the flick would have been
perfectly fit on Shahrukh who is aptly been called the
Baadshah of Bollywood for ages now. And for now with much
being said about the tiff between srk and akshay, a lot can
be observed with some scenes in the movie drawing aspects to
the real King Khan. |

The cinematography is awesome and a bit editing of the
tracks would have been more apt. The music is endearing an
has a color added to it with the Pritam Tag, but it just up
and down anyhow. Akshay no doubt shows his talent with
his power packed performance but since there isn't any sense
in the final sequences in the film you don't get to know
what he is up to unlike in a Humko Deewana Kargaye or Namastey London or Welcome. Katrina looks Gorgeous and
fits the character very well. Its an icing on the cake for
her. |
Neha Dhupia is to be tapped as well. Sonu Sood
emerges with yet another brilliant performance and
finally gets his share in bollwywood. Manoj Pahwa ,
Yashpal Sharma and Sudhanshu Pandey have been ok
with
their performance. Om Puri does really well. Its a
tailor made for him. Kirron Kher is ok but the logic
of she sobbing is so pathetic. Ranvir Shorey is good
too. Javed Jaffrey keeps annoying. |
 |
|
| The final
quote is that , Akshay does a perfect job but the film is
well below one expected and why not when its entitled the
word 'King' to it. Akshay is no doubt a brilliant performer
but surely this flick
doesn't buy him the 'King' tag and there's still there is a
long journey to get the 'King' status. So for now , Khan is
still The King. |
