A disaster named Singh is Kinng

How do you feel when only one Sardar is blabbering? Now imagine how it would be when 8-9 of them are continuing for 3 hours. Same is the case with Singh is Kinng. Generally, I like Akshay Kumar a lot but this movie has even put that into question for me. He has done too much over acting in this one and I believe he is getting fulltime onto the commercialization bandwagon. It might be good for his career but anyways, I think he is losing being his usual self.

The movie starts with him being an idiotic villager called Happy Singh who inflicts more damage than benefit in whatever he does. He is so tiresome that villagers make a plot to send him to get back a guy from the village who moved to Australia and became a top Don vis a vis King. Now our Happy Singh instead of going to Australia reaches Egypt by boarding a wrong flight. And Whoaaa.. who does he meet as soon as he lands in Egypt, Katrina Kaif. Surprise….. Happy Singh is besotted and starts dreaming of her as his wife. But then, he is put on to the next flight to Australia. He catches up with Don there but the Don throws him out followed by a whole sentiyaap dialogue where Happy Singh says, “ Hamari kaum to auron ko bhi khaana paani khilaati hai aur tu apne gaanv ke bhai to dhakke maar kar nikaal raha hai….????” Hungry and tired, he roams around Sydney and makes a pact to not go back unless he is able to take the Don back with him.

Kirron Kher, a flower-monger, takes pity on him and gives him food and shelter. She sends Akshay Kumar on an errand to decorate a boat which surprisingly turns out to be Don’s boat. There is an attack on Don and in an attempt to save the Don, Happy Singh manages to put him into comma where he can listen and see but can’t move. One good comedy scene in the hospital is when the don is on the bed and they are discussing who should be made the new don? The old don points his eyes to Happy Singh, so everyone believes that he wants Happy Singh to be new don but actually, he was trying to blame Happy Singh for the comma and his blood begins to boil in the packet from which transfusion is being done. A big PJ but at least people had a laugh.

Now our new king Happy Singh teaches the lesson of righteousness to the crew and they change from being devils to nice hearted people and blah blah blah. Meanwhile, Kirron Kher’s daughter is coming with her fiancée. Her daughter believes that they are really rich but in between, they have gone poor and Mom dear is worried as to how will she face her daughter and her daughter’s fiancée? Here comes our king to the rescue. He plans a whole drama where Kirron Kher is made the owner of don’s palace and everyone else is a servant.

No points to guess now who will be the daughter when she gets out of the plane? Saddi Kat. Happy Singh’s heart is broken in million pieces but he still tries to put a brave face and work for arranging everything for the wedding. However, In the end, Kat has a fight with her fiancée and marries Happy Singh and everyone has learnt the lesson of virtue and morality, Don comes back to his senses and everyone returns to the village….

"HAPPY" Viewing in case you are still planning to waste your money on this…….

Why are you so jealous of Singhs? We are the most progressive breed of India .. you should be proud of us and should not criticize us ...

I am not jealous of Singhs or anyone for that matter of fact... As far as question of being the most progressive breed is concerned, I believe every creed would say that, so you really cant quantify it.... And its not a criticism of singhs per se, its a joke just like any other joke... said in a sporty way and i think should be taken sportingly...

You can not argue who is the most progressive breed of India ... its obvisously Sardars.. you can go anywhere and can find a sardar.. and for your information, Punjabi is the second language in the Canadian Assembly... anyway you can not win on that ..

You have some offensive lines in the beginning of the blog .. if you can remove them it will taken in the sporty way

Ruchira said...

Well the gujratis can say they are the most progressive breed, similarly, tamils can say they are the most progressive breed, i mean whats the argument here? Everyone is progressive.. Anyways, I really don't think I have written anything offensive, its just pure humor...

Every breed can say that they are progressive but 'most' progressive has to be one .. have you ever seen a single sardar begging .. Even I can answer this question on your behalf . NO... absolutely .. progressive breed doesnt mean a couple of people growing .. it means the whole breed progressing .. I think you should come with something concrete next time ..

The first few lines of the blog cant be taken in the sportive way .. If someone makes joke of you publicly how can you take that sportive way ? You might know that art but I dont...

Ruchira said...

Well you just can't claim that sardars are the most progressive breed.. I think every creed is progressing... And you know I have seen sardar beggars though less in number but I have seen... Next time I will click a pic as well...
And why can't this joke be taken as a joke?? There are so many of sardars joke and I know so many sardars who are my good friends and are pretty cool about it..
If you are taking it so personally and seriously means that you are making it a reality when its not... Why would you be bothered with a joke?

And if you are so proud of yourself, why are you writing anonymous comments? Why not tell directly who you are and we can discuss it further if you want....

definitely take a pic and send me . because in my 28 years of life I have never seen a single Sardar beggar ..

If the thing is not written in sportive way .. how it can be taken in sportive way ..

How does it matter who I am? I am writing annoymous just like that .. If I tell who I am will you accept Sardars is the most progressive brees ?

Ruchira said...

It is being written in a sporty way, if you can't see it , I can't help it. I don't think I would agree to what u r saying in any case and also wouldn't accept sardars as the most progressive breed.

Maybe you could have sent all these facts to the movie script writers, am sure these were the only things left in the movie....
