Singh Saab the Great

There was a time when Sunny Deol was the reigning action hero as he had charisma and personality to pull off the action-drama roles with ease. After a long gap, he emerges back from the surface and gives you a punchy hardcore masala film.

Singh Saab The Great tells the story of a messiah who believes in "Change" rather than "Revenge" as he suffers a setback after losing his wife in a good verses evil battle.

From the director cult Gadar, Anil Sharma brings back the action- melodrama of 90's into the current scenario. Though the theme of the subject is well-intentioned , it is direction and screenplay which takes a backseat. The first half of the film literally does not have any impactful scenes except for the interaction between Sunny Deol and Prakash Raj. It is the second half which makes the film interesting and whole pictures heaves a sigh of relief. Art direction and cinematography are good. Action scenes are over-rated. Not sure why Hindi films displays people flying in the air with a single punch. Music is terrible. It is Sunny Deol who saves the film from falling into pit. He emotes, punches and delivers exceptionally well. Amrita Rao and Prakash Raj are passable.

If you are big fan of Sunny Deol, you will enjoy it otherwise it is a plain average film. Decent 2.75/5

Average movie with Sunny effect.

Story-Commercial social drama.

Dialogues-do not fit for Sunny Deol (expected better for him).

Casting-Good but failed to utilize properly.

Direction-Average

Music-Good

Acting-Individual actors have acted well but Johnny Lever pulling extra lever (as usual) makes movie very loud so much so that movie needs his editing .

Comedy-leave johnny but Sanjay Mishra and other actors are better than lever.

Cinematography-Good

editing-could have been better

The story is simple.The movie deviates from the subject most of the time and emphasizes more on romance,flashback,forced comedy & emotion and nonsense trap.Action sequences are Sunny specific(dhai kilo ke hath me abhi bhi bahut jaan hai).Press reporting by Amrita Rao is too unprofessional.Antagonist is good but only to match Sunny Deol we miss Amrish Puri.The eastern Uttar Pradesh accent seems to be superimposed on various actors.

Overall good movie can be watched once.

In recent years we have seen Sunny Deol in films which haven't been suited for his acting. In the last 5 years he has made films like Fox, Right Yaa Wrong, Yamla Pagla Deewana and Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, and in my opinion the only one really worth watching was YPD, but it wasn't a role in which Sunny Deol excels in. In Singh Saab, we see Sunny Deol in a role reminiscent of his 90's roles. It's full of Sunny Deol style roaring and shouting on top of what I call Sunny Deol action (People flying away with one punch, ripping out posts from the ground) which has in recent years been adapted by all the other actors but we now see Sunny Deol showing them how it's done. A return to real action for Sunny Deol.

With a good storyline and great acting this is must see, not just for Sunny Deol fans but also regular cinema goers.

Movie has a good first half where we get to see the basic premise of the movie as well as to get to know the characters of the movie. The first half was much better than the second half of the movie.

Pros :- Sunny Deol's performance, Some good dialogs, Good Messages throughout movie.

Cons :- Comedy of Johnny Lever & Sanjay Mishra falls flat., Avg. songs, Loose second half.

If you like Sunny Deol's movies you will not be disappointed. The movie could have been better with better direction especially in the second half of the movie. The comedy scenes were misplaced, action scenes were good but i prefer raw style of Sunny Deol (Damini, Ghayal & Ghatak type) instead of these crap wire action sequences. A good movie with good messages throughout but with same old formula. It is like an old wine in a new bottle.

Singh Saab is a really great movie. must must watch for everyone. Its much better than ram-Leela, Chennai express type of movies... that teach you nothing... this is a movie from which everybody will actually learn... I like the ending very much... villain is not killed but changed to good human values... i would greatly recommend this movie... learn from this movie... every hero tries to show his prowess with powerful action scenes... this is not what this movie teaches... this movie teaches badlav... which make more sense than badla... really a treat to watch this movie.. all khans are a failure in front of sunny ... u will see a simple sunny with great message... simple living high thinking type
