Movie Review-Singh is King

Yeah i am back, and i am quite disappointed, coz it seems i am the only one writing movie reviews here....Anyway as u guys know me, i give a damn, and u wil surely continue to receive at least my reviews....Singh is King (SIK), is Akshay Kumar at his best from the very start and it continues to establish AK's dominance in Bollyowood...As a movie it has too many loose ends to deserve a good category but AK's performance and a few good songs force me to give it

4/10....

SIK is a movie which is good in parts....It starts with a bang, full of humour and has AK as a crude villager creating a panic and chaos wherever he goes. Then the unwanted thing happens and the story starts to get very predictable when Happy Singh (AK) is sent to Australia by his villagers (who want him to run away from the PIND, coz of his constant trouble making attitude)....He is sent to Australia to bring back LUCKY SINGH (Sonu Sood) who is a sardar and is the King (Don) of Australia. AK takes Om Puri along, and i think Om Puri's character could have had more colors like the way he was utilized in Hera Pheri.....On his arrival the King (Sonu Sood) is shot in the arm, and suffers from a disease in which he cant speak but can listen and understand everything arnd him....He points his finger towards AK when asked who shd be the next king, agitating his own brother MIKA (Javed Jaffery). AK as King helps the bad guys to become good again and reminds them of GURU's lessons and spends all the hard earned money of the KING on charity....The second half of the movie when he ropes in the role of the KING, becomes very very boring specially after his contact with Kiran Kher (Rose)....Rose and King in the emotional scenes just suck....King in return of Rose's humble act of offering him food in Australia, decides to help her in getting her daughter Sonia (Katrina) married to a a very rich guy (Ranbir Shorie) by making her the Queen of all the business and posing her as a very very rich woman. Katrina ignorant of her mothers achievements over the last three years of her college also believes that her mother had made it big in her fathers business.... .The entire set up is very very colourless and uninteresting.....
In the end Katrina realizes that she loves AK, and as a typical setup experienced in Priyadarshan's movies, there is a lot of chaos in the end and Katrina instead of taking rounds with Ranbir Shorie ends up marrying AK, who holding her hand takes 7 pheres unintentionally as he tries to protect her al this while from al the bad guys around her....MIKA is the good guy turned bad to usurp powers from KING and his brother, but he is also given a boring lecture from AK to become good again in the end.....Could nt get any bad....

All in all the movie is tolerable and yet not good as was expected by all....Performance wise, Javed Jaffery had impressed again and his dance sequence establishes the fact that the chap can still boogie woogie better than the others in the business.....
In case you leave your brains behind or are dunnk you may end up having a good time and may laugh your lungs out. However the movie minus the three good songs and minus a couple of good scenes is not worth a watch....AK's hardcore fan may still love it, and Katrina and AK just rip the screen apart together....

As usual, your comments would add a great deal of value...
