Singh Is King

Akshay is king………… true beyond doubt. I no-plot, utter-nonsense movie made definitely-worth-a-watch by our very own Akshay…

But it would be wrong to ignore other performances that made this movie hilarious..

Mr. Udaas with his rib-tickling nostalgic incidents

Jave Jaffery a.k.a Pappi. His almost-blind performance and comic dialogues to hide his apparent inability are great. His dance with a statue at the start of the movie and later during the song SINGH IS KING (where he keeps pointing his finger towrads a wall) were hilarious. This guy seriously is one of the most under-rated actors in bollywood.

Sonu Sood a.k.a Lucky. Guy looks very handsome and post his temporary paralysis becomes a literal push-over…from King to a Ungli-baba. The scenes where he is used as a passing tray between other characters were really funny.

Om puri a.k.a Rangeela with his thed-punjabi accent gives a good performance.

Katrina Kaif is there with her curves and dance sequences. She is looking really hot in thsi movie.

And now to the King…..its amazing how this actor can turn a silly non-sensical scene into a hilarious one. He has become a pro at making people laugh with his gestures and comic timing. No wonder he is one of the top-paid actors currently. He carries the film single-handedly for the first 45-50 minutes, before others arive on the scene. Scenes of panchayat, wedding song are all amazing.

Film loses some grip in last 25-30 minutes as the wedding day arrives but a great first half and a good 25-30 minute run at the start of second half make up for most of it.

All in all a great movie… definitely the best bollywood comedy i ahve watched till date.

P.S: A sincere thanks to my beloved friend BD, who accompanied me to this movie. Two punjabis at a movie about Sikhs…. deadly combo. No wonder we had a hell of a time.

Dark Knight:A must watch

Watched Dark Knight last night. True to reviews and box office collections, movie is simply superb. Movie is gripping right from the start. Christian bale(Batman) with his heavier-than-bachhan voice, Heath Ledger(Joker) with his lip-sucking performance, Aaron Eckhart(Harvey Dent) with his awesome two-face, every performance,make-up,stunts are worth a watch…throw in a bat mobile, fancy gadgets, a handsome billionaire and you have got yourself a party.

Joker clearly steals the show. His lip-smacking performance, flowing hair, all painted face gives you smiles throughout the movie. Best part is that he is not the usual con, wanting his share of moolah and in the process getting caught. He wants more than that. He wants to give Gotham City a villain to remember and fear.He wants to bring anarchy to the city. As he says,”Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order and you have got yourself chaos”. Line at end of movie is definitely gonna go down as one of the best,”Either you die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain”.

Funny thing happened toward the end of the movie. While boys at the end of movie were raving about batman and his daredevils, a girl next to me commented,”Kya movie thi yaar,car se bike ban jaati hai”…Stupid girl, he has the bat mobile..it doesnt matter if it’s a car or a bike.

I had always heard that girls dont generally enjoy superhero movies. After this incident i am inclined to think whether they understand them. Batman, spiderman, James Bond..is not just gadgets or stuff. Its the whole aura of power that these people carry. As Chandler says in TV series Friends,”James Bond is England’s most powerful weapon. Jet setting heartbreaker on her majesty’s secret service. A man who fears no one; with a license to kill.”

All in all, a must watch. 9.5/10 on imdb.com means something. Enjoy…

P.S: Amidst all the beauties that hollywood has, why did they choose this one is a little hard to understand. And what’s with this hardly-any-kiss throughout the movie. Hollywood,we love you for what you are. Dont take that away from us.
