I'm tempted to believe the ‘k’ factor does prove lucky. Akshay Kumar over & over, yet again has proved that he’s one of the finest, most underrated actors the industry is blessed with today. Singh is Kinng is out and out an Akshay Kumar fest. The way he’s shaping up, with each passing movie, it wouldn’t be surprising if they hike up ticket prices to watch his movies.
There are Heroes…there are Superheroes.. and then there are Sardars. Anees Bazmees’ portrayal of this theory resulted in a hilarious 2 hour 15 min production. Just perfect. Not only did the lead pair Katrina & Akshay do justice but all the supporting sardars, they rocked! An ace of a stylist, Shabina Khan has changed my perception that a sardar is a sardar is a sradar. If we can have more of Akhshay, Sonu Sood and Himanshu Pandey look alikes, then bring it on I say!
It’s a shame that the supporting cast of successful films usually don’t get enough credit.
The story is based on the glorification of Punjabis, a community that knows how to live it big. Shot in parts of Australia, Egypt & tiny pieces of Punjab, the movie has been subjected to the wrath of staunch believers who've attacked the trimmed beards sported in the movie as an offense to pious ideologies. I’d like to request all those who consider this movie sacrilege, to look at the bigger picture. See the beauty in the way the big heartedness of Punjabis is celebrated, soak up the innocence.
The cinematography of the movie along with the dialogues, choreography, songs is all well directed. Katrina Kaif has done well in placing a well deserved slap on the faces of all those who thought all her movies were only courtesy her beau. With a series of hits, she’s been successful in convincing her fit in a Punjabi setting. Even with her anglicized Hindi, British accent, Punjab has accepted this kudi with its kheth wide open. Directors are now letting her dub in her own voice, which is another step towards victory.
Pritam has done a good job with the music and before I figure out sources of his inspiration I must admit my favorite is ‘Tenu Ghodi kinne chadaya Bhutani ke, tenu Dulha Kinne banaya Bhutani ke’
