He may not be as flashy as a Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Karan Johar, but this man knows the pulse of the audience. Silently and yet strongly, Anees Bazmee has two of the biggest hits in this decade: No Entry(2005) and Welcome(2007). Anees is well on his way to score a hat-trick with Singh is Kinng. But even if you can use illogical brilliance as a parameter, Singh is Kinng is nothing compared to Anees’ best work till date No Entry.
Story of Singh is Kinng:
Singh is Kinng was the most awaited movie of the season and it has lived to the expectations(not exceeded them unfortunately), save for its tame climax. You cannot look for a logical story in an Anees Bazmee film, so one basically goes to get entertained. And it does not disappoint. Happy Singh(Akshay Kumar) is a village bumpkin who does nothing but mischief and irritate everyone in the village. Fed up of his antics, the villager decided to pack him and send him to Australia to look for their bretheren Lucky Singh(Sonu Sood) in Australia. Akshay Kumar and Om Puri, his friend, starts off for Australia, but due to a comical mistake, they end up in Egypt. In Egypt, Akshay Kumar meets Katrina Kaif whom he falls in love with. By the time Akshay Kumar and Om Puri reach their destination Australia, they are penniless. However Happy(Akshay)gets love, affection and monetary help through an old lady played by Kiron Kher.
Akshay Kumar visits Lucky Singh(Sonu Sood’s den) and pleads with him to come back to Punjab but the don and his cronies are in no mood to relent. Speaking of the don, Sonu Sood has people like Sudanshu Pandey, Yashpal Sharma, Javed Jaffery, Manoj Pahwa and Neha Dhupia in his gang. Akshay Kumar saves the don from a chance attack on his life. Sonu Sood become paralytic and numb. The sequence at the hospital is top class where the almost invalid Sonu Sood moves his unrelenting fingers, accusing Akshay Kumar of playing foul. But since no one in the group can understand what Sonu Sood is saying, they think that he wants Akshay to be the Kinng of the underworld. Akshay is crowned the Kinng. It turns out later that Kiron Kher is the mother of Katrina Kaif and that she is getting married to one Ranvir Shourey. Akshay Kumar converts the whole scenario from an underworld den to an affluent mansion so that Ranvir and Katrina are impressed with Kiron’s elegance. There is parallel track of Akshay’s own romantic emotions for Katrina. There is also a plot hatched to terminate Akshay Kumar, from a member of his own group. How he overcomes these problems and gets Lucky and his cronies back to India is the crux of the story.
Technicalities of Singh is King:
Singh is Kinng scores on editing and the direction of Anees Bazmee. The music by Pritam is the USP of the film. Pritam has given one of his best for Singh is King. All the numbers are zingy and danceable save for the romantic track “Teri Or”.
Best scenes of Singh is Kinng:
1. The hospital sequence where Sonu Sood’s silent denials are misinterpreted totally by his gang invited a lot of laughs
2. Emotional scene of Yashpal Sharma when he undergoes a change of heart seeing the pitiful conditions of the Black family he had harassed.
3. Humorous scenes of Javed Jaffery
4. The scene where Lucky’s cronies wear masks of SRK, Aamir, Sunny Deol and Amitabh Bachchan. Just goes to prove that outrageously funny moments can spring from silly situations.
Minus points of Singh is Kinng:
1. Absence of a good climax. Singh is King does not have a climax that can draw whistles. It was rather tame for a movie that had a fast pace.
2. Nasty digs on SRK, looked like as if it was added forcefully.
3. The second half is not as funny as the first half.
4. There could have been funnier situations
5. The second double role of Javed Jaffery as Ranvir;’s dad looked totally out of the picture.
6. Ranvir Shourey a fine actor should take better roles, or he will be typecast in the Mohnish Behl image.
Performances in Singh is Kinng:
Katrina Kaif is the delight for the camera. Katrina looks slimmer and oh so gorgeous in the film. She doesn’t have much to do in the film. Neha Dhupia looks sexy and is quite convincing as a glamorous moll. All the supporting cast, Yashpal Sharma, Sudhanshu Pandey, Manoj Pahwa and Javed Jaffery excel in their respective roles. Kiron Kher, Sonu Sood and Ranvir Shourey perform their parts to the hilt. But the cream of the cast is Om Puri and of course Akshay Kumar. Om Puri compliments Akshay Kumar very well, especial in the first half. But the best part about Singh is Kinng is Akshay Kumar. It is a movie that will lap up with every Akshay Kumar fan, and that tribe is a lot.
Conclusion:
Singh is Kinngh is a movie smartly made to excel at box office. The movie should score well with the NRI audiences, particularly because of the Sikh populace. There have been many movies made with sardars as comic relief or as power motivators. Singh is Kinng is the first big budgeted commercial movie to be made on the lion hearted Sikh clan. All in all a trigger happy product. Time for Singhing and Dancehing!
