Akshay Kumar is the king , yes that’s exactly what I felt when I came out of the theatre after watching his latest Singh is King . a film where u see one singh after another & start even believing that the turbanators are the only ones that might have survived the world (if u take away Ranvir Shorey that is – a complete misfit without his turban) & even wished that u were one of them is completely dependent on Khiladi kumar’s prowess as an actor . rarely does an actor has so much talent that he can carry even an average movie on his shoulders . But Akki needs to be careful as the last person who had such an ability was Govinda who wasted his talent & destroyed his starpower by doing mediocre films . Hopefully Akki’s upcoming movies wth Directors of the caliber of Nikhil Advani & Nagesh Kukunoor can make up for that .
Singh is King is yet another average movie . it does has a story idea of a man Happy singh who is given the responsibility of bringing back a guy who is destroyed the reputation of his village by becoming an international don . in between his attempts at making the gangsters follow the right way he falls in love with a girl in Egypt & ends up helping the mother of the same girl . he also realises that the girl is engaged to rich spoilt brat , so there is a namaste London kind of an angle here as well .
What Director does is add all the kichri of slapstick humour , action , romance ,emotion & songs that pop in & out of nowhere . what he doe well here that unlike his last funny film No Entry & Crap – Welcome , he realizes that there is an Editor who is a part of the movie making process . this realization helps in the fact that the movie is short & swet & does not linger on & on like his previous two flicks
Add to it is the power of Akki & a very good supporting cast in Om Puri (reprising his Hera Pheri Kind of a character again) , the restraint Sonu Sood , natural Yashpal Sharma & Sudanshu Pandey , Lovable Kiron Kher . Javed Jafferi hams in the movie His dialogues a re not understandable but his character is so funny that it makes u laugh . the girls in Katrina & Neha are supposed to look good & that’s exactly what they do .
In all Singh & King is not a movie where u don’t take anything home u sit , have ur popcorn , laugh & go back home . a film that u can watch & enjoy once
