There haven’t been many a times that i, after watching a movie, was so lost thinking about the movie itself. I just walked out of the theater and just hoped that i had Bumble Bee or at least my 150 cc 2005 model Pulasr DTSi was a transformer. I would then run over all the cabs and BMTC buses shouting, ‘Decepticons moooveee!!!‘.
Here is a movie that is entertaining from the point the first star of Paramount Picture swivels in, till the end-credits start rolling up. The movie is so much action packed, that i didn’t even get a good look at Meagn Fox. Damn!
Everyone told me that its a great movie. So did people tell me about Delhi 6. Obviously there is not comparison between the chick and the transvestite. The point was, too many characters to fit it. And when i knew that there are hell lot of transformers (Autobots and Decepticons alike) to be followed, i doubted the entertainment ability of the script and movie. What kept my hopes alive was the fact that its a Michael Bay movie. No really, look at the cast. The credits even show a dog being credited (Mikaela’s dog).
Got in for the movie at 10AM on a Saturday. The hall was virtually empty, hardly 10 people for the show. Found a nice and cozy place for myself and settled down. I just didn’t realize how 2hrs whizzed past me. Have to say one of the best entertaining movies.
So all you puny ass punks out there who think, ‘Naah! i’ll wait for the DVD to come out’, you all rot in hell!. This is one movie that deserves to be seen in a theater.
Caution : Just as i was about to hit submit for this post, i went to IMDB and read the trivia and the goofs. Please dont ever ever do that. It kills the fun.
This just looks promising and better than the Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines. Terminator Salvation stars Christian Bale.
Here is the Trailer -

A friend of mine once said, when you are watching the movie ‘Partner’, leave your logic at home and the movie is entertaining. So it follows that, at times when my friends invite me to watch a Hindi movie, i just pack-off my logic to a holiday at the Bahamas. It applies to all mindless comedies that have come out in the name of entertainment. Some makes it through, but some just fail.
Of late Akshay has had a string of comedy movies under his belt and most of them were with the gorgeous Katrina Kaif. Singh is Kinng is no different, but there is something fresh about the comedy and it really makes sense.
Lets just say that the movie does justice to itself. Its a very simple story of Happy Singh (Akshay Kumar), who would just do anything to help you out.Happy is there to help you if you need it or not. But there is a problem, he has got a negative ‘Midas touche’. He leaves a trail of destruction when he sets out to help someone. Its his golden heart that wins him other’s hearts. Rangeela (Om Puri) and the rest of the villagers like Happy, but Happy’s helping hand is now everyone’s headache.
Then there is Lucky Singh(Sonu Sood) a.k.a King, who is a Don in Australia. King has had many close calls on his life. One fine day when King’s dad fall sick, Rangeela makes a plan to get rid of Happy by sending him to Australia to get King, but finds himself having to join Happy. With some sudden turn of events Happy and Rangeela find themselves in Egypt, where he meets Sonia (Katrina Kaif).
What follows is some nicely scripted comedy and the events that make Happy to be the new King! Nothing more to add to the spoilers, so guys enjoy Happy’s journey to Australia. It will sure tickle you to the bones.
Things to watch out for (or rather not to watch) :
Uff!!!! Katrina, she is gorgeous, she is damn sexy, but she is there just to fit in the role of a heroine. Neha Dupia still gets a fair amount of scenes and dialogues. Katrina’s dialogue is still half-Hindi and half-British and never runs more than half-a-page, even if every line was put together. Even after so many movies, her expressions remind me of the Hollywood actor Steven Segal. With Steven Segal you cant make out what his expression is – he kills, shoots, kisses, cries – all with the same constipated look. With Katrina, oh god, its always the Vogue-cover-model look. Damn it even when she is crying, its the same!
The fun part of the movie is, most of the actors who has been the regular villains and the serious characters, playing a comical role. Ranvir Shorey still pays the unfortunate lover. The song with Snoop Dogg would have been better if the Hindi rap part was done by, say Hard Kaur or Bombay Rockers or somebody else.
Highlights of the Movie :
Pritam has come up with some real good songs that have been packed really well, just like the icing on top of the cake. The title track has already made a mark.
ENOUGH! – i wont misguide you any more or get you misguided by the high minded critics in town who fail to appreciate simple things in life and movies, who look for reasons under the earth and beyond the sky to say bad things about any and every movie ever made unless they are paid well enough to say otherwise OR unless they are member of the ‘Bollywood’s Mutual Admiration Society’ or ‘Star Power Sucker’s Club’, and before you fall victim of the vicious process of letting someone else decide what film you should and shouldn’t watch…let me tell you, – Watch the movie without fail! Full Paisa Vasool!
Singh is Kinng!!!
“An unstoppable force hitting an immovable object !!! ”
Yes its a Batman movie and Christian Bale delivers another laudable performance. But still, the ‘hero’ of the movie is Heath Ledger, playing The Joker. Its one of those performances that will make you give a standing ovation at the end of the movie.
If Iron Man was entertaining, then this movie is way beyond that. This is no ordinary superhero movie. Its not for kids and way beyond the league of an average movie goer, expecting an action flick Hollywood movie. If Batman Begins captured the emotional turmoil of a superhero cursed to live a normal life and caught within the mask, The Dark Knight takes you on a stroll through the dark allies of a ruthless and demonic villain. Heath Ledger delivers a character that is going to be the scale with which future villains will be measured. The perfect villain. Striking fear, each time The Joker makes an appearance on screen.
There is noting much that i can comment on the movie. Just go enjoy the movie…
It deserves a 10/10
