'Singh is Kinng' is Directed by Anees Bazmee. The director has come up with a
wafer thin plot and though the presentation and narration are alright, the
script is weak and dialogues are stale. The film has been very rich in its
presentation but then without proper depth and a substantial plot its impact
will be less. The Director main intention is to entertine the audions but he is
failed in that.
The film begins with a small village in Punjab which has Happy Singh (Akshay)
the good natured sardar who always wants to help but ends up doing a lot of
trouble and destruction. So much so that even his friend Rangeela (Om Puri) has
complaints, the village is unable to bear the chaos caused by Happy but then all
of them love him for the fact that he always helps others and is a very kind
person. However, they want to see him away from the village to save themselves
from the trouble and in this process they decide to send him to Australia to get
back Lakhan Singh known as Lucky (Sonu Sood) to the village along with his group
Raftar Singh (Sudhanshu), Mika (Javed Jaffrey), Guruji (Kamal Chopra), Pankaj
Udhas (Yashpal Sharma).
Happy is accompanied by Rangeela who is reluctant to go and due to a freak
misunderstanding they end up in Egypt and not in Australia. Happy sees Sonia
(Katrina) there and falls in love with her. However, both Happy and Rangeela
make it to Australia and catch up with Lucky who is the most dreaded underworld
kingpin but before that Happy is given asylum by the owner of a flower shop
(Kirron Kher). As fate would have it, a freak accident has Lucky ending up with
a disorder and a misunderstanding leads Happy to become the King. On the other
hand, the rose lady is expecting her daughter who happens to be Sonia along with
her boyfriend Puneet (Ranvir). She tells Sonia that they are very rich and now
is in a fix as to how to tell her the truth. Happy steps in and tries to set
things right and is shocked to see Sonia and that too with her boyfriend. And
what happens hereafter is to be seen on the screen.
Presentation:
Screenplay is just about okay and cinematography was good at key locations. The
art department and costume department have done a very good job and the music
was good with three numbers while others were just okay. Editing could have been
a lot better to make things more attentive. Akshay Kumar was his original best
and appeared at ease with his new get up and the act of getting sympathy was
tried again like 'Namastey London' but not that effective. Katrina is having
something magical in her diet since she is getting hotter and hotter with each
day. She has improved in her expressions and dialogues. Sonu Sood was expressive
though his role was a bit dumb for the major portion, Yashpal Sharma gave his
share of laughter while Sunil Pahwa and Kamal Chopra did okay, Sudhanshu could
have been better, Javed Jaffrey's role was a bit childish and did not actually
achieve the humor point as it was expected, Om Puri was mechanical and Kirron
was average. Neha Dhupia came out with some exotic appearance and she was too
sexy with her short minis and luscious legs. Ranvir was regular.
