Pada yang pernah menonton Singh is King pasti tahu betapa lawaknya kisah Happy Singh yang cuba untuk membawa pulang kawannya King ke kampung mereka Punjab.
Kini Singh muncul lagi dengan lakonan mantap Akshay Kumar beserta pelakon mat salleh Amy Jackson (yea, heroine filem ini bukan wanita hindustan).
Filem yang diinspirasikan dari My wife is gangster 3 namun ditambahkan dengan pelbagai adegan lawak, pastinya membuatkan anda pecah perut sepanjang menontonnya. Diarahkan oleh PrabhuDheva yang amat terkenal dalam dunia perfileman Bollywood dan Kollywood yang juga pernah mengarahkan filem terkenal Rowdhy Rathore yang lucu itu, pastinya buat anda nak tonton kisah Singh ini.
Rating : 2/10 Release Date : 2nd October, 2015 Time : 139 minutes Director, Writer : Prabhudheva; Co-writer : Shiraz Ahmad; Music : Various Starring : Akshay Kumar, Amy Jackson, Kay Kay Menon, Lara Dutta, Pradeep Rawat, Anil Mange, Arfi Lamba, Rati Agnihotri, Yograj Singh
The rating has three points for Amy Jackson, looking surprisingly good (almost unrecognizable after her last Hindi film outing, Ekk Deewana Tha) and amazingly slick in her action scenes�the rest is for everything else in the film, including Akshay, the story, jokes, songs etc.
In particular I would like to point out
Silly animal humour � this time a lion, horse, buffaloes, a camel etc are used to display bravery or other characteristics. Juvenile doesn�t even begin to describe it
Crass bathroom humour � a scene involving Prabhudheva and a kid is so crass and tasteless that it beggars belief
The songs are ill-timed, too many and tuneless besides also being desperately wannabe
Special mentions of Lara Dutta and Kay Kay Menon � whatever they got for playing their ridiculous roles, it wasn�t worth whatever they bought with it
The story � there is none, nothing that makes sense at least
Shamelessly manipulative � no opportunity is spared to showcase how Singh / Punjabi our hero, his family and his village is � the kada, the lassi, Golden Temple, the Khalsa symbol. Every stereotype is milked dry � the eating, the loud, garish colours, the love for sweet, the loud. They know their target audience and leave no stone unturned to appeal to them
Even Akshay is extremely unconvincing in this turkey � looking flat and out of sorts, without his trademark comic timing
I found Singh is Kinng barely tolerable but this one plumbs new depths. Is a groan fest from the start, with no redeeming aspects apart from it�s heroine !

Five Reasons Why You Should Watch Gabbar
1. Its on the right topic � corruption in our country has become so ubiquitous we don�t even notice it, think about it anymore � and it truly is an evil that needs to be eradicated 2. The solution suggested � ie we individually have to get up and do something about it � not just start a chat group or hashtag on Twitter but actually shake off our inertia and take some concrete steps. Our politicians, bureaucrats & big businessmen are living in too much of a cozy �You scratch my back, I scratch yours� relationship to ever really break things up. Different political solutions have been tried and failed � each one has vested interests� 3. Akshay gives a decent performance � manages to be understated even while delivering the crowd pleasing lines. Jaideep and Sunil, both of whom play cops, also lend credibility to their roles
4. The story remains reasonably true to the topic � a crusade against corruption. Few diversions do come up (a back story, a romantic angle), but thankfully it doesn�t stray too far. There is also a hospital sequence that was great fun, will resonate with many! 5. One song � Teri Meri Kahani - is sung and pictured very nicely ! Enjoyed watching it for a change � else normally songs in most Hindi films are a great moment to catch up with the rest of the world for the audience.
Five Reasons Why You Should Not Watch Gabbar
1. There is nothing really new in the film. Nothing not seen in five hundred films on corruption, one man crusades, revenge sagas. Not a single new thought or visual. Action wise � it�s the same old � people flying all over the place with the aid of cables, dialogue wise, it really couldn�t get cheesier than some of the lines (Hamara system baby ke diaper ki tarah ho gaya hai � kahin se geela aur kahin se dheela!) 2. Lots of things really stretch credibility. The size of his team / staunch supporters, the college angle, the kind of people he manages to catch & kill with impunity � all of this beggars belief. And he, of course, acquires miraculous powers when he chooses, decimating gangs of villains single-handedly... 3. Our cops have to be the dumbest in the world � they really are shown to be the sort who literally sit with their heads in their hands, and eat samosa with lal chutney, while top officials get kidnapped and killed around them. Even their top CBI guy seems clueless on what specifically to do�
4. What is Shruti Hassan doing here? What is her role � apart from one song in Lavasa, what does she really bring to the party ? Wonder why film-makers feel forced to add an unnecessary romantic track. I also thought Suman made for a very weak villain�quite ordinary� 5. There is a really crass, crude, vulgar item song - Aao Raja � starring my one time hot favourite Chitrangda (of all people). Am surprised with the kind of visuals and lyrics it has (and it wasn�t even needed in the film, was a kind of force-fit), the film got away with a less than A rating. And why, pray why, Chitrangda, are you stooping to this level ?
Overall, I went with really low expectations but the film, thankfully, wasn�t all that bad, or maybe my standards have dropped in terms of what Hindi commercial, masala films can deliver
