Singh Is Kinng (2008) Hindi Movie Review By Kalcha

WORST movie of the year so far and would probably remain so… for the rest of the year. I sincerely hope that no other movie beats Singh Is Kinng in sheer STUPIDITY.

Haven’t you looked at my state of existence after watching this dud in the above picture? If you did… then here are my ramblings after that accident. One of the best reviewers of Indian Cinema, Rajeev Masand rightly says… “My problem is with people whose only objective for making films is to make money – they could be in the construction business, they could be manufacturing cigarettes, but they just happen to be making movies for a living. My problem is with those guys.” My hat is off for that wonderful statement…! How can Directors like ANEES BAZMEE keep on BUZZING my brains out always? I mean he did this with NO ENTRY, WELCOME and so on… and now with SINGH IS KINNG. Can’t he make at least one sensible comedy ever? Who cares if he doesn’t get rest… as he claims? At the end of the day, he and the film’s unit ends up with a brand new MERCEDES BENZ and we as sensible audience end up with a soaring HEADACHE. We are die hard movie buffs… so can’t miss any movie… but there is a limit for this TESTING OF THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. I can understand if it were to be any C class movie. But from an A class budgeted movie… its preposterous.

So, you might ask, what exactly went wrong? My answer would be… what didn’t?

Some song tracks… Jee Karda, Singh Is Kinng, Bas Ek Kinng… Read my complete Music Review HERE.

There are just too many… to list them here… So just a few of them…

• The producer spent a reported Rs. 1.5 Crores on a single song featuring SNOOP DOGG. Why couldn’t it be included in the main screenplay? If that much money could just find place at the END titles, then there is a serious problem with the writer. The movie is just around 2:10 Hrs. So, obviously there is no problem of length. The director felt that it was looking like a stick-on moustache…? Then, the whole movie was a strap-on cheddi. And every character in the movie seems to be pulling it down…
• The heights of stupidity and disgust were touched when OM PURI was introduced as Langotiya yaar of Akshay Kumar. I mean, even considering the age of Akshay, Om Puri’s character seemed ridiculously old and to add up on that… he was planning to marry a young girl (might even be 1/3rd his age)… and that too a two-sided-love. These are just glimpses of pervert nature of the direction.
• Then there is the most PERVERT joke… when Akshay accidentally urinates on his fellow villager.
• And to speak of ACTION scenes in the movie, Sonu Sood jumps off the building with a parachute strapped on… Why the hell was he wearing that all that time? Was he anticipating the jump right from the start? okay, ok, ok… this is just a slapstick comedy… I can excuse that… but how come Sonu (Kinng) comes down and grabs the opponent and then again miraculously flies back in to the sky and throws him in to the sea (like an eagle would catch its fish). Wasn’t that straining our brain nerves. I never knew that a parachute takes off in to the sky… On a second thought, of course it is possible… he is a BATMAN. :-[
• Can’t Kirron Kher act in a non-punjabi role now and then? It is just monotonous to watch her in the same accented role every time.
• The mind numbingly foolish premise is that the LAWYER KATRINA KAIF is completely ANJAAAAAAN of her mother’s humongous wealth.
• Every other character in the movie acts, walks and thinks like a fool. That reminds me of the phrase… Of the fools, By the fools and For the fools. And sadly, I was one of the fools along with a probable 2-3 crore other fools as it is a sure shot blockbuster.
• Unlike Namastey London, there is not even a single romantic scene in the movie that really is worth the famed chemistry of Akshay and Katrina.

Those were just some of the problems I had with this movie. if you had any… comment them. If you liked the movie and would want to bash me up… please do so through comments.

• Aditya, sarcastically suggested that the success of the film might be the work of numerology that made the film unit to spell KINNG with a double N.
• Raj, brought forth another interesting point… How the hell did the misplaced ticket of 1 person (Ranvir Shorey) could ferry 2 persons (Om Puri and Akshay Kumar) to Egypt?
• Ammy says,
  Its NO ENTRY for all intellectuals who see movies for a logic and sensibility… especially Aamir khan Fans…
  Its WELCOME for all who like David Dhavan type of movies where logic takes the back seat and entertainment rules…

BEST DIALOGUE: Akshay Kumar… “Main ji Sach Kahtha Hoon… Achii Apne Aap lag Jaathe Hain.”
WORST DIALOGUE: Katrina Kaif… “Mummy Ki… Five Star hotel bhi hai?” (N)
