I am a huge huge fan of the Manmohan Desai School of film making. David Dhawan is still walking on his path, Priyadarshan is on a success spree with his kind of films & now Anees Bazmee joins the ranks of these film makers. His last two films Welcome & No Entry were huge hits & I am sure he will score a hat trick with this one.The screenplay is structured on a very flimsy story line but it is written to entertain. The audience it caters to is not the people who want some intellectual film but for people who want to watch great cinema but still want their Indian masala from time to time.
Singh Is Kinng is primarily aimed at the audience who wants entertainment at any cost. It’s filled with some very interesting characters & lots of fun scenes. The dialogues suit the characters & film to the T, it is one mad cap comedy with doses of action, romance & drama. The film doesn’t take itself seriously I suggest you also don’t. Vipul Shah recently commented that “you can bring your brains to watch this film because it’s not a brainless comedy”. Sorry to disagree. It is a brainless comedy but it is aware of it & that’s the reason it’s a fun watch. It doesn’t disguise itself as a film that could change your life & take Hindi cinema forward. The star of the show is undoubtedly Akshay Kumar. Without him the film wouldn’t be half as good as it is now. Never ever does he makes you feel how big a box – office star he is but gets into the skin of his character infusing incredible charm & honesty in his role. He is there in almost all the scenes but still you can’t get enough of him. Jaaved Jaafrey stands out as the almost blind & half deaf goofy sardar. Katrina & Neha provides the required glam quotient in the film. They have nothing much to do in the film. Sonu Sood surprises in his first comic role. Om Puri, Kamal Chopra, Manoj Pahwa, Sudanshu Pandey & Yashpal Sharma provide able support to the film. They are a right example of a fine supporting cast. The music fits into the narrative without hampering the flow of the screenplay. Wish the song teri ore would have been kept in it’s entirety.
Final Few Words: Dil Agar Sachcha Ho Toh Rab Sab Kar De Setting. Kumar is king, Kumar is king, Kumar is king. Is film ka dil sachcha hai aur box –office par iski setting pakki hai.
*** (Good)
