Here is the the most anticipated movie of the year so far.Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Anees Bazmee & Vipul Shah all these names together are supposed to spell blockbuster. So does the magic work?do you get your money's worth?Well yes & no.
The movie starts off simultaneoulsy by showing you that Lucky Singh ( Sonu Sood) is the dreaded King ( underworld don) in Australia & Happy Singh ( Akshay Kumar) is the village bumpkin in Punjab. Fed up with his antics the villagers trick Akshay & send him off to Australia with the intention of bringing back Sonu to Punjab as they feel insulted by his misdeeds there.
Akshay moves off to Australia with his friend Rangeela ( Om Puri) with a quick detour via Egypt where he falls in love with Katrina Kaif. In Australia, Sonu refuses to return back & Akshay takes refuge with a poor flower seller ( Kiron Kher). In a strange turn of events ( quite funny) Akshay is forced to step in as the new King in place of Sonu.
Till here its all fine & Anees could have taken the movie to great heights .But what happens next is a ghisa-pita romantic twist- with Katrina turning out to be Kiron Kher's daughter who comes along with her boyfriend in tow ( Ranvir Sheorey looking lost). Though the entire Singh gang ( Javed Jaffrey, Manoj Pahwa, Neha Dhupia, Yashapal Sharma,Sudhanshu Pandey,Kamal Chopra) try to enliven the proceedigs, it still falls short of really keeping you engrossed.
Surprisingly Pritam is not in great form- in fact even the much hyped song with Snoop Doogy Dogg is hardly great.But the title song has style written all over it. Overall the movie would take an excellent start at the box office making it a big success for Akshay & Co. Its Akshay who makes the movie watchable as he's in great form, both as the village bumpkin & as King. Katrina has less screen time - but the songs remind you that the chemistry between the lead pair is brilliant.
Most of the support cast are really good in their roles especially Om Puri, Javed Jaffrey & Sonu Sood.So for those who watch it with a lot of expectations- you may be disappointed. Hence watch it if you liked movies like Welcome, but then again dont expect anything great from the movie & you might still think its paisa vasool.
Rating- 2.5/5 ( 0.5 additional for the excellent marketing and of course for Akshay who rocks)
