Singh is Kinng

The title is in English, the least you expect is a Hindi film. By Jove, the movie turns out to be in regional language !! If you don't know punjabi very well, you'd be exhausted by interval itself...phew !
From the moment it kickstarts, and believe me - there's a lot of meaningless kicking around right from the start, you keep waiting for the best hilarious scenes to drive you crazy ! All you get is a meagre string of funny stuff and that too from Javed Jaffery and Om Puri (NOT Akki Singh!).

Happy Singh(Akshay Kumar) is a handsome sardar in a village helping folks out, by catching their chickens on the terraces, dancing in their weddings et al. The Village Chief is SO darn impressed by his humanitarian deeds that he decides to sponsor him to go to Australia. His task is to find another sardar Lucky Singh(Sonu Sood), who's a Don now in the foreign land and bring him back to the pind (meaning village ! Picked up some punjabi while watching the movie!). Why? Dont really know, its probably some ailing relatives that werent shown and referred to, in the movie at all. Anyhow, Akki detours to Egypt for some godforsaken reason (I think it was to sing a song with katrina Kaif near the pyramids), reaches Oz. As circumastances and forced situations would have it, he has to take on the role of the Don, he reforms the Don's employees, wins over the Kat woman somehow wherein she eazily dumps poor ranvir Shourie and they all live in la la land happily ever after ! No plot, No story and clearly No coordination.
Gets a 3 on 10 from me!
