Story/ Screenplay/ Script:: Long story short - its gone to dogs. End result, the movie is "all form - no beer".
This movie is an another example to prove that star-power coupled with marketing can set the cash register on fire (mini-me of Om Shanti Om?). Overseas I am sure, it has raked moolah in loads. Akki proves that he is second to none when it comes to punching above one's weight.
Akki-Katrina:: Undoubtedly, they share a sizzling chemistry.
Om Puri/ Kiron Kher/ Ranvir Shorey:: These names are synonymous with "powerhouse of talent". It would be an "understatement" to mention that they were grossly under-utilised.
Javed Jaffery:: Why Javed why?
Vipul:: You were fantastic as a director in "Namaste London", why on earth did you hand over the reigns?
Anees Bazmi:: Suggest you go back to writing or follow Priyan's footsteps (of remaking South movies viz. "No Entry"). Needless to say, it would be blessing to the audience.

Just came back from preview screening of this movie. Its a Hilarious Comedy, we were literally in fits due to laughter. Akshay Kumar steals the show, nothing unexpected. But from the time he makes an entry, you know this is going to be one roller coaster ride. And he is supported very well by rest of the cast, however Katrina Kaif is there doing what she does the best, look good. She has nothing much to do in the movie. But I feel that this could have been a much better movie, the title of the movie had lot more potential, however I was not expecting much from Anees Bazmee. But yes, if you love Akshay Kumar, and do not might couple of hours of side splitting comedy, then go for it..
Akshay Kumar has steadily established himself well as a bankable comedy star. Most of his recent movies; be it Welcome, Bhool Bhulaiyaa or its likes have less to with brains and more with goofy stuff. Not to say that I’m against no-brainers; note, flicks like these are tailor made for box-office performance! Who, except for hapless multiplex audience paying 200 bucks to watch it, would really care whether it makes sane sense!
Singh is King is one such movie off the comic assembly line! Akshay plays his usual Machismo, this time a Punjabi Munda, Happy Singh. The villagers love his innocence but are irritated by the damage he causes uncannily. Soon, they find a pretext to get him out of the village, to bring back a crime boss ‘King’ Lucky Singh (Sonu Sood) who the villagers feel has tarnished the repute of their village and their ethnic group.
A comedy of errors lands Happy and his buddy (Om Puri) in Egypt instead of Australia, where he bumps into a damsel Sonia (Katrina Kaif) and is instantly smitten. The story moves to Australia where the duo discover that the ‘King’ is in no mood to return to his village. A series of events leads to the king getting injured and going into Coma. As he passes out, he points at Happy. The gang takes it that Lucky has chosen his successor.
Just as happy sets out to do good to a world of evil Lucky controlled, Sonia returns engaged, our hero is heartbroken. But he’s still at his comic best with full scale Sardar bravado! Then, there are the usual dream sequences, bhangda dance numbers and goofy humor that may hardly tickle you. But, what does this movie have that makes it tick? Akshay! As much as you find the script stupid, you’ll adore Happy Singh!
Although this flick is one of those run of the mill movies which you may never remember later, you may still find it worthwhile to watch it on cheap tickets. Reasons, the lead star rocks, the dance number Jee Karda in Egypt is neat. Katrina is the usual eye candy. As for the rest, Javed Jaffery, Kirron Kher, Om Puri, Neha Dhupia and Ranvir Shorey are nothing awesome, but they don’t bore you. My bet, try it out, albeit with low expectations!

This is definitely one of the better movies to have been released this year as well as one of the better comedies, which has action, drama and a bit of thriller mixed in with romance.
Happy Singh, who everyone in his village wants to get rid off, even though he wants to ensure that everyone is happy and he helps everyone that he can , leaves his village in the Indian state of Punjab, with his friend Rangeela, who is able to speak some English instead of Happy, to got to Australia to bring back his friend, Lucky. But there's slight hitch en route, as they accidentally end up in Egypt and have to re arrange everything.
Starring Akshaye Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Kirron Kher, Om Puri, Javed Jaffrey, Sonu Sood, Manoj Pahwa and Neha Dhupia, this is written and directed by Anees Bazmee.
As I have mentioned previously, that this is one of the better comedies this year and Akshaye Kumar along with Om Puri, has again proved his talent in this genre. The same applies to Sonu Sood and Manoj Pahwa. Unfortunately, there's not much comedy involved for Katrina, though she has done a good job where it was required in a couple of scenes. Javed Jaffrey has, once again, put on the same type of accent that he did in "Salaam Namastey" and in which he proved to have done so well. Unfortunately, for him, this is not applicable here at all as he failed to make that impact. However, Sonu Sood was convincing in his role as a "Don." Finally, Kirron Kher! As usual she delivers the perfect role.
There are plenty of flaws and one is that is that if "Happy" is unable to speak a word of English, then how come that he is able to speak some words such as "shut up" and also understands what is being said to him? This is where the writer and the director has made an error. Never the less it is an average good comedy that is worth watching once Oh! Just one last point and that is make sure that you leave your "thinking" grey cells at home and intact.

Singh is Kinng,directed by Anees Bazmee has no story basically.But this one could be called a Kinng sized entertainer. It offers loads of big laughs,some action sequences,a little drama and lots of romance and last but not the least it has the biggest entertainer of Bollywood-Akshay Kumar. Direction by Anees Bazmee is excellent. The music is chart buster with all songs topping. The Cinematagropher has done a excellent job.The scenic beauty of Australia has been captured very well. Special mention to the dialogs writer who does an amazing job. Performance wise-Akshay Kumar is the Daddy of Entertainment.He simply rocks!Katrina Kaif adds glamor value to the film.Om Puri and Kirron Kher are superb in their respective roles.Sonu Sood is very good.Neha Dhupia looks gorgeous.Javed Jaffery is excellent.Ranvir Shorey is okay in a brief role.Yashpal Sharma,Sudhanshu Pandey,Kamal Chopra and Manoj Pahwa are good.
Overall Singh is Kinng is an entertainer.
