Singh Is Bliing

Being a big fan of Akshay Kumar i went to watch this movie, but forget all recent performances by him, this one is to be missed. I am greatly disappointed in him and Prabhudeva. 0 script lots of songs and awful jokes(If they can be called 1) Only Colours used in songs are nice, Amy Jackson is used as an eye candy. No story at all, I anticipated a lot more from Akshay. Kay Kay Menon is a saving grace. If you have some free time to kill, instead watch his old comedy movies but skip this one. My entire score is just for Akshay's performance only. I never saw Singh is King but now i would like to just to compare if this was worst than This excuse of a movie. Skip it at all cost.

If I am asked to evaluate Prabhudeva's credentials as a director, I would say the box office outcomes of two of his last outings - Rowdy Rathore and Action Jackson has made him smart.One was an uproarious hit and the latter was excruciatingly disastrous. Singh is Bliing which marks the second collaboration of Akshay Kumar and Prabhudeva, has the right recipe for raking the moolah with smart placement of mindless humor, silly jokes, exotic locales, NRI heroine and of course the hero, playing a Sardar, with immense crowd-pull.

And he certainly knows how to maneuver Akshay in his comfortable space.Give him a hollow script and challenge him a bit.Your job is mostly done! So Singh is Bliing sees him playing Raftaar Singh, a slacker who spends all his time either dancing to the tunes of 'Tung Tung' or performing stunts or wrestling for fun.In a sequence involving a lion in the cage , Prabhudeva brings out the disarming goofiness of the good-natured simpleton,who has such extreme reverence for his Bauji(Yograj Singh) that whenever he appears, Raftaar squats. Fed up with his good-for-nothing son, he sends him off to Goa to work for his friend, Kripal(Pradeep Rawat)who runs a casino. The plot switches to Romania where we see two dons at loggerheads,Kunal Shashi Kapoor who has a beautiful daughter Sara(Amy Jackson) and Marc(Kay Kay).Marc has a roving eye for Sara and therefore her dad sends her to Goa, Kripal's den. Upon her arrival, Raftaar is asked to provide her 24X7 security but the problem arises when he learns that Sara doesn't know Hindi and Raftaar can neither understand nor speak English.He appoints a translator,Emily(Lara Dutta)to make the job easy but on the contrary, there ensues a comedy of errors with Raftaar's bumbling buddy duo(Arfi Lamba and Anil Mange) and some hilarious situations.

The first half of the film is breezy and Prabhudeva whips up the wafer-thin plot with 'Punjabi' tadka and generous dose of humor which include some wacky pieces of comedy and sexist jokes.However, they don't appear vulgar and are not meant to be.He employs a myriad stereotypes but presents the colorful vignettes of the hinterland which captures the various flavors and fervor of the Punjabis.We see Raftar's gang of 'balle-balle' friends appearing from nowhere and dancing in revelry whenever he gets down from train, a stern father who is soft from within , and a mother sharing warmth and eye-ticks with his son.The lush greeneries,wide-angle shots of the mustard fields of Punjab, the exquisite landscape of Goa and Romania play to the film's cinematic benefits.Its the amateurish writing that plagues the second half.This is further jeopardized by some unnecessary songs acting as speed bumps.Amy's search for her long- lost mom doesn't evoke any sentiments because it is so flimsy and I was shocked with disbelief when Akshay survives Kay Kay's bullet below his chest in the climax.No logic provided!

Prabhu has utilized the star cast prudently, concealing their limitations. Example,Amy who plays Akshay's love interest, is shown as a martial-art champ decimating the goons to pulp, much more proficiently than Akshay does.Lara Dutta's comic timing is exploited judiciously. The supporting cast comprising of Yograj Singh,Rati Agnihotri and Kunal Shashi Kapoor( seen after a hiatus) does a decent job who are relatively understated among the crowd of actors who perform over-the-top.Kay Kay Menon is completely miscast in the role of the mafioso, and it's a shame to watch the actor in such a cardboard caricature uttering the seemingly cool punchlines repeatedly ,"I am too good na" or "Easy is boring!". He certainly deserves better as per his acting prowess. Yet the film is not unwatchable because of the sheer energy that Akshay Kumar projects on the screen. His tomfoolery is infectious,his antics are endearing and he is the cool Punjab-da- puttar donning the turban and the vibrant costumes.

It's agreeably a film with very low IQ, but strong EQ. Definitely , not boring.

this is the second film by prabhudeva thats Stars Akshay Kuma. They were seen in Rody Rathode that really did good at box office. this movie is about Raftaar Singh a villager who hasn't completed any work in his life. The film revolves around akshay as Raftaar and Amy Jackson (Sara). they both cant understand each others language so they hire a translator Lara Dutta (Emily).Lara duta plays important role and her efforts in this movie play a important role in comic punches. Akshay has been always all rounder entertainer whether its comedy movie or action movie he always knows how to pick up script. Akshay will be seen in avatar we have seen him before in Singh is King but this time he is more charming and cute than ever. and Lara Dutta plays a very crucial role and she is one of the reason you will not get bore because how she ruins their relationship is a major reason that will make you laugh. I would say its a full time entertainment movie you wont get bore for sure because how one can forget that Kay Kay Menon is the main Antagonist and he is just too good. its a family movie and you will definitely fall in love with Raftaar's Swag

There is a overdose of masala entertainment films by Akshay Kumar in 2015 - Baby, Gabbar Is Back and Brothers. Good news is that Singh Is Bliing is better than his previous film Brothers ... bad news is that it is yet another typical action-melodrama with nothing new to offer. Singh Is Bliing was a typical bran-less , nonsensical entertainer which was certainly an improvement over Prabhudeva's debacle Action Jackson

A young girl Sara ( Amy Jackson) from Romania lands in Goa to her father's friend to search for her lost mother after her parents separated few years ago. Enters good-for-nothing but gem of a person - Raftaar Singh (Akshay Kumar) whose job is take care of Sara. Raftaar Singh becomes Sara's only hope to find her mother in Goa.

After giving of string of masala films like Wanted , Rowdy Rathore, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, R..Rajkumar and Action Jackson, Prabhudeva is back with yet another popcorn entertainment with strong first half but diluted second half. The film begins with a bang with vibrant and tuneful song "Tung Tung", comedy scenes at Goa especially from Lara Dutta and the chemistry and comic humour between Akshay and Amy will keep you engaged throughout the 1st half. However, the film goes down the rabbit hole and is completely lost in the dark in the later part. Direction is lame with minute focus on screenplay at all. Screenplay is weak. Cinematography is amazing. Art direction is good. Background score is better. Editing could have been better. Despite weak merits, it is the performances which makes the film watchable. Akshay is fantastic. He will make you laugh with his superb dialogues and funny antics. Amy will surprise you as tough chick. The gorgeous actress emotes expressively and should go a long way. Lara Dutta makes a good comeback and does well in a minuscule role.

Overall, Singh Is Bliing promises to deliver but is letdown by wafer-thin 2nd half. Watch it for Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson. Decent 2.75/5

Amazing comic timing! Akshay Kumar is improving at this in every comedy movie that he does. This year this is the fourth movie for Akshay and switching gears from Baby to 'Gabbar is back' to Brothers to 'Singh is Bliing' all four movies have different characters played to the fullest by Akshay. Singh is Bliing has an amazing opening song!! Very light hearted comedy. Amy Jackson does justice to her character too. Lara Dutta is a big surprise!! The dance moves in the movie complement the theme of 'comedy'. Almost everything about this movie makes you laugh. One thing that makes this movie believable is that Raftaar does not eventually speak in English / Sara does not eventually speak in Hindi. Overall it is a complete entertainer. We do not need to expect stories out of any movie these days!
